Georgina Zellan-Smith is one of New Zealand's most accomplished pianists with a long list of accolades, dating right back to her debut at London's Wigmore Hall, through to her recordings of Ravel and laterley her work with the Auckland University.
Born in a remote country district of New Zealand, Georgina showed promise at a very early age, gaining scholarships to London's Royal Academy, where she became a Professor at the end of her studies. Her several London recitals (London Piano Series), performances on BBC and with LPO/BBC orchestras led to tours worldwide.
Living in NZ from 1980 her involvement in music making both here and abroad continued. 2007 included recitals in UK (invitation-Brecon Cathedral Easter Music etc), and the USA, with standing ovations at these recitals.
This is a collection of traditional pieces from Scotland and Ireland.
