CHRIS STANBURY
Our June concert will feature Chris Stanbury and takes place on Friday June 6th. Chris is one of the UK's most versatile and busiest young keyboard players on the professional circuit today. Whether he's playing the very latest electronic instrument, jazz or classical piano or indeed a mighty theatre or classical pipe organ, Chris approaches everything with a high level of skill and musicianship. Whether it be a concert, social dance, theatre show or wedding party, Chris provides an imaginative and exciting programme which is guaranteed to entertain and enthral.
He is classically trained on organ and piano, but equally at home when playing jazz
and pop music, Chris holds various prestigious musical qualifications from the London
College of Music, including Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees. Studying

Notable events in the last few years have ranged from playing the organ at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, giving the world premiere of a jazz organ piece at the Duke's Hall, Royal Academy of Music, playing piano for several high profile corporate functions and various tours of the Far East, both as a solo performer and session musician. Chris has also performed on national TV and BBC Radio 2.
Variety is one of the most exciting elements of a musician's life and this has certainly proved to be the case for Chris. "There's no such thing as a typical week," he says, "Which is why every engagement is special and unique for me. I might be touring for a few days and then straight into accompanying and teaching afterwards."
Somehow, Chris combines his successful performing career with that of a music examiner for the London College of Music and is a committed and passionate teacher. Indeed, Chris' talent for explaining and presenting hasn't gone unnoticed, as he also works in the musical instrument industry as a piano and keyboard product specialist and demonstrator.
Chris is at home on any type of organ or keyboard, keeping a rather extensive collection
of new and vintage instruments in his home studio. His current choice of concert
instrument is the Yamaha ELS-
