Solo

The famous pianist, conductor and great musician George Hadjinkikos wrote of Michael: “A musician, who by insisting on drawing humbly from the well of life and nature, is continuously perceptive and has ever more to offer”.

Michael is asked to perform on both a national and international basis. His great musical skill is complimented by his excellent communication skills which make him a popular and accessible performer. He enjoys adapting to a wide variety of performance venues: from playing in world-class concert halls, to performing at elderly care homes, to entertaining at private dinners.

Michael can tailor make his performances to suit individual venues, tastes and wishes. If you would like to contact Michael for further information about his availability for a particular event, please visit out contact page.

Collaborative

Sir Yehudi Menuhin said of Michael: “Michael’s great expertise lies not only in his chamber music but also in his long and effective experience in leading, coaching and bringing ensembles – small and large – to

a high degree of perfection and expressiveness. There is no-one I could recommend for this task with greater conviction that I do Michael Bochmann”.

Michael, most notably among his many collaborative efforts, founded the Bochmann String Quartet and has held a 23 year position as concertmaster of the English String Orchestra and English Symphony Orchestra. He has enjoyed numerous creative collaborations (performing and making recordings) with fellow musical partners including Michael Blackmore (piano), David Watkins (harp) and Adam Khan (guitar). Michael is also Patron of Live Music Now, Cirencester Recorded Music Society, and Chamber Music at Worcester. He has initiated musical clubs in Worcester, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton and Swindon.
