Described as possessing a ‘romantic flair and passion that only comes from intense involvement’ (Carol Nixon, LMC), rising Welsh musician Tomos Boyles is rapidly carving out a career as a young and exciting concert pianist. He has performed at numerous prestigious venues including Smith Square Hall, the Elgar Concert Hall, St Martin in the Fields, the Holywell Music Room in Oxford, St David’s Hall in Cardiff, and the Wales Millennium Centre. Recent performances include solo recitals at the Ludlow Piano Festival, the Beaumaris Festival, and the Wigmore Hall.

 

He has enjoyed success in competitions, having recently been awarded the first prize at the 2025 Dudley International Piano Competition. Other top prizes include first prize at the Wales International Piano Festival, the prestigious Blue Ribband at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, and first place in the EPTA competition. His interviews have been published by the Cross-Eyed Pianist’s 'Meet the Artist' series and broadcasted by S4C and BBC Wales.

 

Tomos graduated from Christ Church, Oxford University in 2022 with a first-class degree in music having held a scholarship during his studies. Now a postgraduate student at the Royal Academy of Music in London, he works under Professor Rustem Hayroudinoff, having previously studied with Alison Bowring. He was recently awarded the Royal Academy’s prestigious Bicentenary Scholarship, which will support his studies for an Advanced Artist Diploma next year. He has benefitted from masterclasses with such pianists as Llŷr Williams, Joanna MacGregor, Leif Ove Andsnes, and Artur Pizarro. His studies are generously supported by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, the John Fussell Memorial Trust Fund, the Robert Turnbull Piano Foundation, and the William Mealings Award.
