Lily Owens: Cherubim Young Musician
· St John’s Church, Tisbury
I’ll be standing in for Lily’s original pianist at this concert. This is a really special concert because it honours two Tisbury families who have provided Lily with the three flutes that equip her for entry to the professional world via the Royal Academy of Music. The Levit silver flute was purchased partly with funds donated in memory of David Ganderton OBE; and her Burkart piccolo and Haynes Amadeus alto flute were donated by Jennie Malone-Lee in memory of her husband, the distinguished doctor, James Malone-Lee. The full programme features virtuoso flute music from Telemann to Khachaturian, including music from two modern American flautist-composers: Robert Muczinsky and Lowell Liebermann, whose Concerto for Piccolo is considered one of the peaks of the repertoire.

Watch me play
Collaborative pianist
As an accompanist and chamber musician, I help other people perform at their best. The piano playing can be just as demanding as solo repertoire!
I like to think of myself as supportive and non-judgemental – someone who helps other musicians when the unexpected happens. I often work with singers and wind players.
I also love solo piano music and have performed in London, Lancashire, Poole, Norfolk, Sweden, Romania and more... I’ve been kindly supported by the Marjorie and Dorothy White Trust and the Henry Wood Award.
Composer
My music is an ambigious mix of old and new. I like to be inventive, challenging, and sometimes have very bizarre ideas. Through all of that I’m still searching for something expressive, relatable and personal.
