Susan Tomes

Susan Tomes is a Scottish pianist who has been writing about her experiences as a classical musician ever since she was a student. Over the years, she has found that her audiences always enjoy being offered a glimpse of what goes into the making of a performance, and her five previous books have aimed to open up the life and thoughts of a concert pianist to her music-loving readers. She has a particular love of chamber music, which has featured in all her books. Her sixth book, 'The Piano - a History in 100 Pieces' will be published by Yale University Press in July 2021.
