What we do

For three decades The Parkhouse Award has been discovering and presenting young ensembles of piano with strings in London and across the UK to provide the best possible start to their careers.  This is what we offer:

• Help and guidance over a two-year period covering all aspects of performance and development with continuing support thereafter.
• Parkhouse Award presentation concert at Wigmore Hall plus performances across the UK at prestigious venues and festivals.
• Active social media presence

The Parkhouse Award was founded in 1990 by friends and colleagues of the pianist David Parkhouse to perpetuate his memory and continue his work in the guidance and encouragement of young chamber ensembles at the outset of their career. He made an outstanding contribution to the performance of chamber music in Britain and abroad both as a teacher and as founder member of the Music Group of London with Hugh Bean and Eileen Croxford Parkhouse, the creator of the Parkhouse Award.
