Rachel H has been playing the piano for almost sixty years. She studied with various teachers in Bristol, and later at the Royal Academy of Music in London until 1978, returning home to start a career in the Civil Service which continued for the next thirty-four years until she retired in 2012. Throughout this time Rachel has been constantly involved with musical theatre groups and choirs in the Bristol and North Somerset areas as accompanist or Musical Director, plus she is the accompanist for various music festivals and singing/instrumental exams. She also enjoys playing the occasional solo in concerts!

Rachel’s offering for PMP is the beautifully lyrical piece “To a Wild Rose”, written by the American composer, Edward MacDowell – one of her favourites.

Rachel H hopes you enjoy her playing and video images – a tech wizard she is not! Many thanks for listening. More to come . . . maybe.”
