Nicholas Parle BMus MMus

Nicholas Parle was born in Sydney and studied harpsichord with David Kinsela while completing a BMus degree at the University of Sydney. Upon receiving a Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Award for Young Australians in 1985, he moved to London to broaden his musical horizons, and is indebted to the many colleagues throughout the world from whom he has learnt so much.

In 1989 Nicholas Parle won the First Prize in the International Harpsichord Competition in Brugge, Belgium, only the third time in the thirty-year history of the competition that a first prize had been awarded. He now appears as a soloist, continuo player and teacher throughout Europe, Japan and Australia. In addition to teaching at the Guildhall, since 2004 he has been professor of harpsichord at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater, Leipzig.
