Ronald Farren-Price: Concert Pianist
Ronald Farren-Price is a renowned pianist, pedagogue and mentor. Ronald, who turns ninety-three on July 2, 2023, has led a rich life embracing classical music. Growing up in Brisbane, he made his concert debut aged thirteen with the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra.
Ronald was encouraged to move to Melbourne to study with Lindsay Biggins. In 1949 the Chilean virtuoso Claudio Arrau offered the young Ronald a scholarship and so began an international career as a highly regarded piano recitalist. Ronald has performed to enthralled audiences in Australia, America, Asia and across Europe. He was the first Australian musician invited to perform in the former Soviet Union.
From 1986 to 1990 Ron was Dean of Music at the University of Melbourne. Ronald continues to teach today, inspiring students with his passion and knowledge.
