MARGARET BRUCE<\/strong> is Canadian. She grew up in Vancouver and was educated in Toronto at the Bishop Strachan School and the Toronto
Conservatory of Music before leaving Canada for London when she was 18. After studying at the Royal College of Music she won a scholarship
for further study in Vienna.\u00a0
There are any number of pianists who have had the occasional work composed for them but Margaret Bruce, on the other hand, has had what
amounts to an entire repertoire of new music written especially for her by composers as famous as Herbert Howells and Lennox Berkeley. Of all
the composers who have written works for her the distinguished Czech composer Antonin Tucapsky has pride of place. In the early 80\u2019s
Margaret premiered his Fantasia quasi una Sonata at the Purcell Room and more recently he dedicated 24 Piano Preludes to her. He has also
written for her a Concertino for piano and orchestra, a Piano Trio and a miniature Trio for her triplet sons when they were five years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MOSHE FRIEDMAN<\/strong> is Hungarian. He grew up in Romania and was educated in Jerusalem and Paris where he was awarded the Diploma
dExcellence at the Ecole Normale de Musique. From 1971-1984 he played in the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. He now lives in England
where he pursues a busy career as performer and teacher. He has given recitals throughout the UK and France and Sweden.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has taken part in many Czech operas: The Bartered Bride, Rusalka,\u00a0Jenufa, The Cunning Little Vixen etc.\u00a0
