Back in Brighton for Easter break, but still flying the Royal Northern College of Music flag. Terrific to meet the talented and lovely musicians at BHASVIC today. Great performances and super questions on applying/ studying at conservatoires.

Extraordinary day adjudicating the northern finals of the EPTA UK piano competition at Forsyth Music Shop. Wonderful performances - kudos to all the young players and their teachers. Thanks Murray McLachlan for the invite!

At Riot Ensemble we’re able to offer so many opportunities for learning and participation, and that’s because our entire team are learners and participants themselves! riotensemble.com/education #Composer #Ensemble #NewMusic #lifelonglearning #PleaseShare

Super day, congratulations to all the players and their teachers 🤩

Diary updated. Things to inspect 🔬 adamswayne.com/category/event…

Looking forward to working with Victor Lim’s Rossall pianists on the Variations for Judith Serota this Friday 😃 (oh, hi Judith!)

A pleasure! What a week it has been 💫

Great evening, and I’m glad we were able to present Riot Ensemble for Royal Northern College of Music and ECMA students beforehand (thank you Jeremy Young). Another educational project to add to the big list flagged up by Royal Philharmonic Society. Huge thanks to 🕷️ Sarah Dacey 🇪🇺 (not pictured here) for creating these!

“… the workshop was excitingly led by Mr Swayne with a blaring horn, whistle and humour” - lovely write-up of ‘Football Crazy’ at ⁦Music at Shrewsbury School⁩ last week 🎹 ⚽️ 🎹 shrewsbury.org.uk/news/2024-03-0…

Terrific to have super-engaged keyboard students at this morning’s session with the lovely Dr Samantha Ege. Looking forward to hearing them play more of these works in future. Thank you Samantha, and also Wiebke and Michael Harper, for bringing this work to us! 🫶

A terrific time hearing the young pianists tackle such impressive repertoire, and thank you for programming my anarchic ‘Football Crazy’ as part of the day! 🎹 ⚽️ 🎹

‘Songs of Descent’ by phoenix rousiamanis was knockout. Congratulations to her, and everyone involved in a spine-tingling performance. 👏👏👏

No piano in this one, and given the amazing (and amazingly tough!) programme, I have more time than my colleagues to massively plug Riot Ensemble at Wigmore Hall tomorrow - 1pm!!

I’ll be a few hundred miles away unfortunately, but if you’re in London, make sure you GO!!

Coming up in Manchester on Thursday. This is a FREE lunchtime concert with Adam Swayne 🎹 featuring music by Kevin Malone as well as my newest multimedia piano composition ‘Earthed’. The whole concert is themed around memorial, and my piece reflects on a fallen tree 🌳 🪵

At our next Walter Caroll Lunchtime Concert, pianist Adam Swayne who will perform a solo recital of @OpusMalone's 'Sudden Memorials' alongside 'Earthed', a work by Nina Whiteman.

📆 Thursday 22 February
⏰ 1-2pm
🎟 FREE – no need to book!
