Michael Pandya & Keval Shah
Keval Shah
Keval Shah has quickly established himself at the forefront of a new generation of collaborative pianists. Since 2020, he has been Lecturer of Lied at the Sibelius Academy, Helsinki, an appointment which made him the institution’s youngest professor, and he now divides his time between running the Academy’s Lied programme and appearing in recital at venues and festivals across Europe, as well as maintaining an increasingly busy schedule as a guest teacher, artistic curator and broadcaster.
Engagements in the 2023/2024 season include recitals at Wigmore Hall, the Hugo Wolf Akademie, Stuttgart, Oxford International Song Festival, Leicester International Music Festival and Oulu Music Festival, collaborating with artists including Louise Alder, Iryna Kyshliaruk, Theodore Platt and Tomi Punkeri. Recent highlights include a recital at Wigmore Hall with Karita Mattila, performances of Winterreise with Roderick Williams, and Saariaho songs with Anu Komsi, in the presence of the composer, as well as a residency with Dame Imogen Cooper and Henk Neven as a scholarship holder of the Imogen Cooper Music Trust.
