Chris Lloyd is an Australian concert pianist, currently residing in London, UK. He has a Master of Music from the Royal Academy of Music, London, and since graduating has performed over eighty concerts in three continents and six countries, as well as having given several masterclasses at the University of Cambridge. He is the founder of Crossmodalism – an international multi-disciplinary movement based on the intersection of, and collaboration between, art, science, and cutting edge technology. Aside from performance, he is an author published in four countries, a curator, artist and event manager, and speaker working with international arts, literature, technology, and music festivals. Chris Lloyd has crafted a career based on entrepreneurial enterprise, with a focus on discovering new performance techniques and innovation within the industry. As an independent artist, he has developed a niche outside of the typical route; eschewing the competition, recording, management, and award industries in favour of following creative desires based in independent thought.
Currently based in Berlin, Lucia Brighenti is working in particular as a collaborative pianist, with special focus on vocal language coaching and accompanying singers, as well as working with instrumentalists, given her decade long experience in that particular field. She also work as piano teacher for adults and children of all levels and ages
Lucia collaborates with Musical Theatre Berlin as Musical Director. They are currently developing the Off-Broadway Musical “I Love You Because” which will be premiered in fall 2024 (a Sitzprobe was showcased in December 2023). She is also working in the workshops for musical amateurs by Musical Theatre Berlin, during which the students develop skills in the three areas of musical theatre and end their course with a full musical production.
Lucia is also the co-founder and member of the Lysistrata Chamber Collective who directs the concert series Forgotten Female Composers in Berlin dedicated exclusively to performing works by female composers of the past and contemporary.
Lucia graduated with honours from the Conservatorio Statale “O.Respighi” in Latina under the guidance of Maria Paola Manzi and in 2014 completed a Master of Arts in Performance (Piano Accompaniment) at the Royal Academy of Music, London, with Michael Dussek and Carole Presland.
