About / Biography

Miriam has been a professional violist and music teacher for over twenty years. She studied at the Royal Academy of Music, the Purcell School, and then at the Royal College of Music with Simon Rowland-Jones and Grigory Zhislin. As a student she won a number of prizes and scholarships, gained a first class honours degree, and then continued her music studies at post-graduate level. Miriam is also a fully qualified music teacher, having obtained a Postgraduate Certificate of Education from London University. She has performed on BBC radio 3 on various occasions, including the live pre-Prom BBC radio debut broadcast of Robin Holloway’s trio for viola, clarinet and piano. She has given both solo and chamber music recitals over the years, and was a founder member of the Alexander Piano Quartet. Her career has taken her to countries such as China, Korea, Gabon (for the President, to celebrate the centenary of Albert Schweitzer's Lambarene Hospital), Turkey, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, Italy, America, Cyprus, Slovenia, Romania, Austria, France, Norway, Bermuda, and Greece. Miriam appeared with the singer Craig David, both on live BBC TV when he sang the 2016 'Children in Need' official song, and also in the subsequent music video recording. She played for Queen Elizabeth during her Golden Jubilee celebrations, and on another occasion for Prince Charles. As a soloist (on stage, amongst the dancers!) Miriam has toured nationwide with the Richard Alston Dance Company, and as an orchestral player and chamber musician she has often appeared in major British venues such as the Festival Hall, the Albert Hall, Abbey Road Studios, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

Miriam has worked with many major orchestras and ensembles during her performing career, including the Philharmonia, London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Concert, Bournemouth Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish, English National Ballet, English Festival Orchestra, English Symphony Orchestra, Norwegian Radio Orchestra, English National Orchestra, Fine Arts Sinfonia, London Orchestra da Camera, Bennelong Ensemble, Oxford Philomusica, Trafalgar Ensemble, Kings Chamber, and Belmont Ensemble. She has also performed on a number of occasions with the English National Opera and Glyndebourne.

If you have a particular tune that you would like Miriam to play, she would be happy to learn up to 5 new tunes/either with a backing track or unaccompanied. She can also play a tune by ear if you are able to sing it to her!

Miriam would like to credit the following sites for allowing her to use their backing tracks, either for recording purposes or for performing purposes:
