In a career spanning five decades he has performed extensively in more than 40 countries as well as maintaining an intensive UK concert and recording schedule. His 70th birthday in 2017 was marked by concerts in London and Paris where he performed the virtuoso “War Trilogy” of Prokofiev (sonatas 6, 7 and 8) together with sonatas by Schubert and Beethoven, to critical acclaim. Artist Bio Julian Jacobson was born in Peebles, Scotland to parents who were both distinguished musicians: his father Maurice Jacobson had some piano lessons with Busoni while his mother, pianist and composer Margaret Lyell, studied in Berlin with Else Krause, daughter of Liszt’s pupil Martin Krause. Julian studied in London from the age of seven with Lamar Crowson (piano) and Arthur Benjamin (composition), and had four songs published by the age of nine. Further studies at the Royal College of Music and Queen’s College Oxford were supplemented by a period as the inaugural pianist in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, as well as lessons from the great Hungarian pianist Louis Kentner. He made his London debut at the Purcell Room in 1974, followed immediately by the first of five appearances in the Park Lane Group’s annual Young Artists series and his Wigmore Hall debut as both solo recitalist and chamber musician. During the 1980s he established himself as a fine duo and ensemble pianist, partnering artists such as Zara Nelsova, Sandor Vegh, Ivry Gitlis, Lydia Mordkovitch, David Geringas, Christian Lindberg and Manuela Wiesler as well as many leading UK instrumentalists including Nigel Kennedy, Steven Isserlis, Moray Welsh, Colin Carr, Alexander Baillie and Philippa Davies. Jacobson’s appointment in 1992 as Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama led to an increasing concentration on solo work. In 1994 he embarked on his first cycle of the complete 32 Beethoven sonatas; he has now presented the cycle eleven times. Five of these were “marathon” performances where he performed the entire cycle from memory in a single day – only the second pianist to attempt this. His 2003 marathon at St James’s Church Piccadilly, London, raised over £6000 for WaterAid while his 2013 marathon at the celebrated St Martin-in-the-Fields was streamed worldwide and attracted huge media coverage and rave reviews. In November 2022 he marked his 75th birthday by performing the marathon in London and at the Festival of Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. Since 2014 he is Chairman of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe where he is responsible for organising many concerts, competitions and other events for young players.
