Tindale

Pianist

Ian Tindale is increasingly in demand as a specialist in song repertoire and chamber music. This year, Ian returned to the Ludlow English Song Weekend for a recital with Bethany Horak-Hallett and Dan D’Souza, and in June he joins tenor Nick Pritchard at the Aldeburgh Festival with a program of songs by Benjamin Britten and Imogen Holst. Highlights of the previous season included roles as Official Pianist to both the Wigmore Hall/​Bollinger International Song Competition (London, UK) and the International Vocal Competition in ​‘s‑Hertogenbosch (Netherlands). Ian has previously also been engaged as Official Pianist at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Other performance highlights include recitals from the Edinburgh Festival and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and the BBC World Service. His album of Schubert Lieder with regular duo partner Harriet Burns was hailed as ​‘a very fine disc indeed’ (Gramophone), and 2025 will see the release of their second album on Delphian Records. Ian is the founding Artistic Director of Shipston Song, a festival in the Cotswolds, UK, and a vocal repertoire and song coach at the Royal College of Music, London.

After having won the hearts of Montrealers during the Voice 2022 edition as collaborative pianist for soprano Harriet Burns, Ian Tindale returns to the CMIM for Voice 2025, this time as an official pianist. Hear Harriet Burns and Ian Tindale in concert on June 1st, 2025 at Salle Bourgie.
