Duncan Honeybourne enjoys a diverse profile as a pianist and in music education.
Following his concerto debuts at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall and Town Hall, and at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, he made recital debuts in London, Paris, and at international festivals in Belgium and Switzerland.
Commended for his "gripping performances" (The Times), "glittering performances" (International Piano) and "great technical facility and unfailing imagination" (Musical Opinion), Duncan has toured extensively in the UK, Ireland and Europe as soloist and chamber musician, appearing at major venues and leading festivals and broadcasting frequently on BBC Radio 3 and radio networks worldwide.
His many recordings reflect his long association with 20th and 21st century British piano music and he has premiered more than 80 new piano works written for him by composers including John Joubert, John Casken, Sadie Harrison and Cecilia McDowall.
He has also revived many forgotten scores by composers of earlier generations and has made premiere recordings of piano music by Baines, Bainton, Pitfield, Greville Cooke, Ivor Gurney, Armstrong Gibbs, Walford Davies, Christopher Edmunds and Imogen Holst, as well as numerous first broadcasts of contemporary and forgotten works.
Duncan has taught in the music department at Southampton since 2013. He also teaches piano and chamber music at the Royal Academy of Music Junior Academy, and is a visiting piano tutor at Sherborne School.
