Christopher Glynn
Chris is a Grammy award-winning pianist and one of the UK’s best-known accompanists and chamber musicians. He performs with leading singers, instrumentalists and ensembles throughout the world and has made many acclaimed and ground-breaking recordings.
Chris combines his performing life with the role of Artistic Director of the Ryedale Festival, where he has been praised as a ‘visionary’ and ‘inspired programmer (The Times) and championed the role that regional festivals can play on the wider artistic stage. He also guest directs projects for a wide variety of international venues and festivals, and in 2015 he founded Polyhymnia to bring classical song to a wider audience.
Chris is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music (where he also teaches), a Vice-President of Music in Hospitals and Care, President of Chiltern Arts, and Artistic Advisor to a number of organisations. He has three children and lives in London with his partner Jo. Away from music, he loves books, pubs and mountains.
