Richard Lennox

UK-based Richard Lennox brings a fresh approach to classical crossover piano, merging virtuoso technique with live improvisation and a captivating mix of genres. Known for his classical mash-ups, Richard combines his influences from classical giants with modern icons like Nigel Kennedy, André Rieu, and Rick Wakeman. His performances range from improvised renditions of beloved pieces to inventive medleys that seamlessly weave Gershwin, Rachmaninoff, and even pop anthems like Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Richard’s unique sound is shaped by his experience as a neurodivergent artist. He often communicates best through music—a process of storytelling that lets him express what words cannot. His performances are deeply personal, each one an exclusive experience as he improvises and interprets the classics live. Highlights include his spontaneous jazz arrangement of Bach and his emotionally charged reimagining of Meditation by Massenet, leaving audiences awed by his versatility and artistry. Beyond traditional recitals, Richard has appeared in the West End’s Wicked and on the BBC’s Songs of Praise, blending his classical training with a broad array of styles that resonate with audiences young and old. He has performed at the Royal Albert Hall’s annual Prom Praise concert, where his repertoire has ranged from Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue to Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony. “I am regularly blown away by the talent, musicality and sheer exuberance of Richard Lennox. Every performance is a tour de force of fresh originality and pianistic dexterity. For power and poetry at the keyboard, he’s a unique virtuoso go-to artist.” — Michael Lawson, composer Whether performing solo, in theatre, or at major concert venues, Richard Lennox breaks down the boundaries of classical music, making it approachable, exhilarating, and unlike anything audiences expect.
