Short Biography
An active repertoire that encompasses such composers as Beethoven, Berg, Brahms, Debussy, Schubert and Stravinsky reinforces pianist Nicolas Hodges’ special prowess in contemporary music. As Tempo magazine has written: “Hodges is a refreshing artist; he plays the classics as if they were written yesterday, and what was written yesterday as if it were already a classic.”

In the 2017/18 season he performs as a soloist at the Donaueschinger Musiktage, at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid, at Wigmore Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and as part of the Ultraschall Festival Berlin.
Furthemore he is invited to perform with Staatsorchester Stuttgart under the baton of Sylvain Camberling, as well as with the Philharmonia Orchestra London at Royal Festival Hall together with Beat Furrer.
With Britten Sinfonia he plays the Piano Concerto of Gerald Barry in London, Amsterdam and Norwich under the baton of Thomas Ades.
At the Festival AFEKT he plays chamber music at the final concert in Tallinn with his Trio Accanto.

In chamber music Nicolas collaborates regularly with the Arditti Quartet, Adrian Brendel, Colin Currie, Ilya Gringolts, Anssi Karttunen, Michael Wendeberg, Carolin Widmann and as a member of the Trio Accanto.
