Nathaniel Mander is a British harpsichordist and fortepianist whose performances have taken him throughout Europe and the UK, and to the United States and South America.
He began his education with Richard Lester before moving to London to study with Carole Cerasi at the Royal Academy of Music where he graduated with first class honours.
In 2010 Nathaniel won first prize at the Early Keyboard Ensemble Competition at Fenton House. The following year he returned and won first prize at the 10th Broadwood Harpsichord Competition, later winning 2nd place at the Gianni Gambi Harpsichord competition in Pesaro (Italy), the Accompanist’s Prize for the John Kerr Award at Finchcocks and the Harold Samuel Bach Solo Keyboard Prize at the Royal Academy of Music. In 2014 Nathaniel held the Linda Hill Junior Fellowship in Harpsichord at the Royal College of Music for two consecutive years.
Nathaniel is much in demand for solo, chamber and orchestral appearances throughout Europe and in the United States. He has performed for radio and television and at major halls, including Wigmore Hall, King’s Place, the Purcell Room, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. John’s, Smith Square and the Royal Festival Hall.
Nathaniel’s debut CD, The 18th century French salon, was highly praised by the critics at its release in 2015, and he has recorded a series of music videos in collaboration with award winning film director David Percy.
He has recently recorded Bach’s Goldberg Variations which will be released later this year on ICSM Records.
