Rufus Edwards is an award-winning pianist from North Wales, and has just completed a degree in Music at Christ Church, Oxford. Beginning piano lessons aged 5, he now holds the DipABRSM and LRSM performance diplomas, both with distinction.

A frequent competitor at a national level, he was last year named Pendine Young Musician of Wales for a recital at St Asaph Cathedral, broadcast on BBC Radio Cymru.

He has won first-place instrumental prizes in the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol in 2019, 2021 and 2023. At the 2025 Eisteddfod, held here in Wrecsam, he also won the Eleri Evans Memorial Prize for accompaniment.

At Oxford, in addition to many solo recitals, Rufus was President of the Christ Church Music Society. Also a clarinettist, he has previously played in the Oxford University Wind Orchestra, joining them on the piano last year to perform Igor Stravinsky’s Petrouchka. He is especially interested in music from the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, as will feature in today’s programme.
