Biographies
Pam Kijoran, a 20-year-old pianist from Thailand, is currently pursuing her undergraduate
studies at the Royal Northern College of Music under the guidance of the renowned pianist
Alexandra Dariescu. She enjoys playing a wide variety of repertoires and discovering new
pieces to explore. Pam has also been engaged in orchestral piano, playing with the Alderley
Edge Symphony Orchestra and with RNCM's Wind orchestra. In the music education field,
she has been involved in projects such as the 'Singing Playground' with ExCathedra in
Symphony Hall, Birmingham, and a student placement with the National Children’s
Orchestra of Great Britain. As an ensemble musician, Pam is part of the Neoelysian trio,
where the group aims to explore a diverse range of genres, particularly focusing on works by modern composers. Apart from performing, Pam is a keen composer with interests in
neoclassical and minimalistic music.
Tristan was born in South Africa and was introduced to piano at a young age by his parents, who saw it as a hobby for him. Though initially obligatory, his enthusiasm for the instrument flourished in his teenage years. He pursued multiple piano diplomas alongside his school studies and secured a scholarship to study at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under the tutelage of Mark Bebbington. During his final year of undergraduate study, his musical horizons broadened as he delved into British music. This led to involvement in various piano prizes and concerts dedicated to British composers. Now, he's a postgraduate student at the Royal Northern College of Music studying with Alexandra Dariescu.
