NATHAN WILLIAMSON  has performed at many of the world's leading venues and festivals as soloist and chamber musician, and collaborated on new compositions with a wide variety of artists both at home and abroad.  Recent highlights include the release of a three CD project on SOMM Recordings, ‘100 Years of British Song', with tenor James Gilchrist, the complete Beethoven Concertos with the Prometheus Orchestra, recording Sonatas and Nocturnes by Malcolm Lipkin for Lyrita, the premiere of Christopher Brown's 24 Preludes and Fugues, and international tours with the renowned new music ensemble Piano Circus. During lockdown Nathan gave online recitals for City Music Live, as well as streaming regular live music into schools and care homes. 

Nathan's own work includes the piano quartet  Crystal , premiered in October 2021 by the Rossetti Ensemble, a substantial Sonata for cello and piano premiered in 2018 by Charles Watt, as well as new songs for James Gilchrist. Other recent commissions include Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra, Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Endymion, NOW Ensemble, Bury St. Edmund's Cathedral and Pushkin House.

Nathan's first CD for SOMM, Great American Sonatas (2017), was hailed by Musical Opinion as “a landmark in recordings of American piano music” and Colour and Light (2019), of British 20th century piano repertoire, was chosen as Album of the Month in International Piano Quarterly. His debut,  Brahms and Schubert: Late Piano Works , was reviewed by Donald Sturrock as ‘a truly electrifying debut from a musician with a rare marriage of thoughtfulness and passion'.
