Alice Turner is at the forefront of the new generation of song accompanists. Her repertoire ranges from Purcell and Bach to Gian
Carlo Menotti and Wolfgang Rihm, but it is for her playing of the
great Classical and Romantic song cycles that she has achieved her
greatest recognition.
A multiple prizewinner, she began learning the piano at eleven,
going on to study with Rudolf
Jansen, Renna
Kellaway, Malcolm Martineau, Graham
Johnson and Helmut
Deutsch.
Alice Turner is a talented linguist and coaches singers in German,
Italian, Dutch, French and English song. She lives in London, where she is currently on the music staff of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
You give forth an impressive kind of musical authority... Your Debussy was an absolute delight; I have never heard it played better.
Graham Johnson, June 2006
Highlights of her recent concert seasons include the world
premiere of Barbara
Okma’s De Geschikte Stem – The Suitable Voice – commissioned
by Cappella Amsterdam and broadcast live on Dutch national radio,
and song cycles by Schubert, Schumann, Debussy and Menotti in London, Vienna, Oxford, Amsterdam and Brussels.
