Biography
John Bryden was born and bred in Edinburgh. Important musical influences were excellent piano lessons from Mary Moore, the music in Daniel Stewart’s College Chapel, St Georges' West Church and St Giles' Cathedral as well as the Friday Evening SNO concerts in the Usher Hall. Solo recitals, chamber music and song recitals have all formed his concert work from California to Kathmandu via Wigmore Hall. Alongside 18 cruises, he has led over 150 tours to Europe and UK, and has recently given two recitals in his new hometown of Oxford.
