Fiery passion combined with incisive intellect mark the playing of pianist Ian Pace. His vast repertoire, stretching from complexity to simplicity, focuses in particular upon the works of contemporary British, German and Italian composers as well as the 'classics' of modern music by composers such as Boulez, Stockhausen, Ligeti, Nono and Cage. Equally adept as a chamber music and ensemble player, Ian Pace frequently performs with other soloists and groups, most notably pianist Mikhail Rudy and the Arditti Quartet. 

Ian Pace has given the world premières of over 100 works for solo piano including Brian Ferneyhough's long awaited Opus Contra Naturam, Michael Finnissy's monumental 5½ hour work History of Photography in Sound and James Dillon's sparkling Book of Elements, Part 3.
