Gisela Meyer

I was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In my undergraduate studies in Frankfurt I took piano as principal subject and cello as second subject. I then carried on with postgraduate studies in Weimar. Piano solo/Chamber music/Song accompaniment . In London, I obtained a Masters in Performance (accompaniment) at the GSMD and studied singing privately with Jessica Cash. I perform regularly as pianist and singer - more recently, as a Singing pianist as well. I love connecting to my audiences on a personal level and stay in touch with a lot of people, some of whom even became friends. I lead regular free Singalongs online that I created for her local community during the first lockdown. I also create recording backing tracks for singers and instrumentalists - currently for several albums of tenor Aidan Crowley, available for sale on bandcamp. My second passion is teaching - I teach various musical subjects privately and am tutor for Piano, Classical Singing and Chamber Music at the City Lit Institute, doing occasional accompaniment and deputising work for Cello classes. I also works as a freelance musician and regularly play for recitals of students in London’s music colleges, and work as external advisor, accompanist and cello teacher for City and Islington Sixth Form college. I mainly play classical pieces or perform songs from the shows and lighter repertoire, as Singing pianist. But I am up for mingling with passionate musicians and artists of any kind, so it was a pleasure for me to be involved in a cross-over project, where I worked with Indian composer Baluji Shrivastav for his production “Sohini and Mahival", which was performed at the Southbank Centre as part of the Alchemy Festival.
