The Wanaka Concert Society is delighted internationally acclaimed Pianist Jeffrey Grice will perform at the Lake Wanaka Centre on Tuesday 18 February at 7.30 pm.

Jeffrey Grice was born in Christchurch. Following graduating at Auckland University

He was awarded a Queen Elizabeth Arts Council grant and a French government bursary to study in France, obtaining in 1978 a Licence de Concert from the Ecole Normale Superieure de Musique de Paris. 

In 1979, he moved to Israel for a year to consolidate repertoire with Enrique Barenboim (Daniel Barenboim's father).

Other formative influence came from the guidance of American pianist Charles Rosen and the coaching of Argentinian-born pianist Florencia Raitzin-Legrand, a Laureate of the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation, the Cziffra Foundation, and the Sophia-Antipolis Foundation. 

Jeffrey Grice has recorded extensively with several best recordings in Europe, Japan and New Zealand.

He has given concerts in France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, England, the USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Laos, Abu Dhabi, Malta, the Czech Republic, Morocco, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Uganda, Rumania and Canada. 

His career had a stage and movie sideline. After a first brief appearance in the 1979 5-part television serial Les Dames de la Côte by Nina Companeez, he then played (though as an actor) in the  1991 prize-winning French film Un Coeur en hiver (A Heart in Winter) by Claude Sautet.
