"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." - Bob Marley

Praised by the New York Times for his “great flair and virtuosity", John Lenehan has appeared in concerts throughout the World from Abu Dhabi to Zurich and from Aberdeen to Zimbabwe. As a soloist he has appeared with orchestras such as the London Symphony at the Barbican and the Royal Philharmonic in the Royal Albert Hall. John Lenehan has also collaborated with some of the leading instrumentalists of our time and is recognised as an outstanding and versatile chamber musician.
John Lenehan has made over 70 albums covering a huge range of musical styles. Duo sonatas by Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms rub shoulders with piano concertos by Michael Nyman and Vaughan Williams, chamber music with the Nash Ensemble and jazz repertoire with Emma Johnson.
John is increasingly drawn towards jazz and particularly early 20th Century styles including ragtime and stride piano and has been performing in a two-piano collaboration with the acclaimed improviser Jason Rebello. He also composes. His Fantasy on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker has been recorded by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra. He has written and arranged for a long list of soloists and orchestras including Nigel Kennedy, Nicola Benedetti, Leonidas Kavakos and Yuja Wang, the BBC Concert Orchestra, RPO and Hong Kong Philharmonic.
