WELCOME TO RICHMOND RHYTHM CLUB
29th April: Euan Stevenson, piano
Euan Stevenson is probably the only professional musician to have beaten Andy Murray in a tennis tournament (albeit a long time ago).
A prolific composer, arranger and pianist whose music spans classical, jazz and pop genres, comprising music for concert, film and animation, Euan was born in Scotland to a musical family - he is a relative of Muir Mathieson (Musical Director for hundreds of British films including Vertigo and Brief Encounter). Euan studied jazz piano at Birmingham Conservatoire and has enjoyed commissions from the BBC Concert Orchestra, The English Chamber Orchestra, and The Bach Choir.
Euan has accompanied some of the top jazz singers in the UK, Australia and the US including Tina May, Anita Wardell, Carla Cook and Hilary Gardner, but his longest association by far is as co-writer, arranger and pianist with UK Jazz FM award-winning vocalist Georgia Cécile.
This partnership has included recent headline residencies at Ronnie Scott’s and support for Gregory Porter at The Royal Albert Hall. The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO) toured a 90-minute concert programme entirely of Stevenson and Cécile’s songs which Euan was commissioned to arrange for the orchestra. He also performs duo concerts respectively with celebrated UK jazz pianist Dave Newton and saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski.
Euan is a part time lecturer at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and a highly regarded private teacher of talented alumni such as Mercury-nominated jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie.
