Alison Gill

Alison Gill is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, specialising as an accompanist and répétiteur. Whilst at the RAM she made her Wigmore Hall debut, filmed for Channel 4, and was chosen as one of ten pianists to perform alongside Michael Nyman and Gavin Bryars in Satie's 19 hour work Vexations, taking place in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern.

Alison has now returned to the North of England and is highly sought after as an accompanist across the region, working regularly with soloists and ensembles that include the Chorus of the Royal Northern Sinfonia and the Jervaulx Singers and has accompanied choral masterclasses with composers including John Rutter, Bob Chilcott, Will Todd and Eriks Esenvalds. Alongside these regular collaborations Alison works as an accompanist in residence for Leeds Conservatoire, Durham University, Samling and for the BBC Proms held at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music. Alison is also accompanist-in-residence for the Berkshire Choral International, collaborating with them for their courses and performances in Durham Cathedral, Barcelona's Palau de la Musica, the Teatro Verdi in Florence, the Musikverein in Vienna and in 2025 for a summer residency in Berlin.
