Duncan Honeybourne is a distinguished British classical pianist, celebrated for his exquisite touch and profound musicality. He has carved a niche for himself within the realms of British and contemporary music, having a keen interest in bringing lesser-known works to public attention. A graduate with honours from the Royal Academy of Music in London, Honeybourne's career has been marked by a series of successful solo recitals, concerto performances, and chamber music collaborations across the UK and internationally.

Honeybourne's discography is a testament to his versatility and depth as an artist. His recordings span a broad range of styles, with a particular emphasis on British composers. From his evocative rendition of 'remembered melody … vibrant echoes,' featuring works for cello and piano by Jacob, Cooke, and Pantcheff, to the ambitious project of bringing the piano works of Henley to life, Honeybourne's dedication to exploring and interpreting music is evident. His recent performances on the 1873 Bevington organ at Holy Trinity Parish Church in Bincombe, Dorset, highlight his adaptability and willingness to explore different musical textures and timbres. Through albums like 'Transfiguration: The Piano Music of Phillip Cooke' and 'Pictures of Light: Music by William Baines,' Honeybourne continues to champion British music, offering listeners new insights and rediscovering forgotten gems of the piano repertoire. His commitment to his craft and his passion for music education also shine through his engagements and masterclasses, making him a pivotal figure in the classical music community.
