About
One of the world’s most inspirational pianists, Nicholas McCarthy was born without his right hand and has gone on to achieve international acclaim through extraordinary talent, determination, and a pioneering spirit. After making history as the first one-handed pianist to graduate in the Royal College of Music’s 130-year history he has subsequently performed at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, where he appeared with the British Paraorchestra and Coldplay, and made his BBC Proms debut at the Royal Albert Hall.
