Niel du Preez has inspired live and radio audiences in the UK, continental Europe and his native South Africa with his expressive and poetic solo playing, performances with leading orchestras and collaborations with chamber musicians. His most recent collaboration comes in the form of a duo with Paris-based clarinetist Myriam Carrier.

Upcoming performances and master classes are scheduled for Beijing, China and in Perth, Australia. This follows recent recitals in Sonntags am Rhein and Frankfurt, Germany, master classes for the annual Piano Week Summer Festival at Bangor University in Wales, performances at Morton Hall, Shropshire, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. John's Smith Square, and The Forge, London. Niel also gave a recital for the Blüthner Piano Concert Series and performed Schostakovich's Piano Concerto no. 2 in central London.

Niel was awarded DAAD & SAMRO scholarships for overseas studies, and has won prizes at various national and international competitions, including the Oude Meester and FORTEmusic competitions in South Africa and the International Silvio Bengali Piano Competition in Italy.

He trained at the Stellenbosch Conservatoire of Music, the Hochschule für Musik und Theaterin Hannover and the Staatlichen Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe.

Former teachers include Christopher Oakden, Peter Nelson, Kaya Han and Simone Kirsch, and over time he’s engaged with various acclaimed pianists and teachers such as Ari Vardi, Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, Peter Feuchtwanger, Andrzej Jasinski, Peter Eicher, Martino Tirimo, Nelly-Ben Or, Melvyn Tan and Graham Fitch.

Today Niel is a member of faculty at the St. Paul’s Cathedral School in London where he teaches piano.
