Colin Kingsley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colin Kingsley (1925–2020) was a British pianist and teacher.[1] Among his many recordings were the piano music of his colleague Kenneth Leighton[2][3] the composer Alun Hoddinot[4] and John White.[5] He also championed many English Composers from the early twentieth century [6]

Kingsley was a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh Music Faculty where among his pupils were Tanya Ekanayaka and Donald Runnicles "‘Nominally, the hours spent with Colin Kingsley were piano lessons; but in actual fact they were remarkable, holistic musical journeys delving deep into the composer’s intentions, whether melodic, harmonic structural or even orchestral".[7]
