A Jamaican-born, British-trained pianist living in the United States, Nigel Coxe is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied with Harold Craxton, and has also served as a professor at the Royal Academy. He is currently Professor Emeritus of music at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and maintains an active schedule of recitals and lecturing. Mr. Coxe has performed widely in Europe, Great Britain, and America; he has appeared as soloist with the London Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Hallé Orchestra, and many others. He has also given recitals for the Australian Broadcasting Commission in Sydney and has made numerous solo and concerto appearances for the BBC London. The New York Times has written, "He goes to the heart of his music in modestly straightforward fashion, leading from expressive strength and shunning any sort of virtuoso exaggerations." The Times (London) has called him "a musician's pianist to the core." Mr. Coxe has made two very well-received CDs, both available on the Titanic label: Music of Percy Grainger and Showstoppers, a disc featuring the music of Gershwin, Grainger, and Eubie Blake. Both have received worldwide critical acclaim. Recently he was also a member of the International Jury for the Concours de Musique du Canada in Montreal.
