"Rapidly establishing himself as
one of the best pianists of his generation Warren Mailley-Smith is
that rare exceptional talent who turns
out to be utterly charming and down to earth with a gentle,
self-depreciating sense of humour. Combined with his formidable
technical skill and mature musicality, these attributes have made
him a favourite for both audiences and St Martin’s staff
alike.” St Martin in the Field, Staff
