Aged fourteen, she was admitted to the Junior Department of the Royal College of Music and during her time at the Junior Department, Beatrice won the institution’s major prizes for piano and represented the Department as a composer. At eighteen years, Beatrice went to the Royal Academy of Music, studying piano with Patsy Toh, composition with Elena Langer, and won the Royal Academy of Music’s Eric Brough Memorial Prize for Piano.

Preparing for the Event

For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!

    Beatrice Nicholas gave a stunning recital, playing throughout without sheet music, full of emotion and dexterity. I was spellbound and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Please, please ask her back for more concerts.
