It’s been a real pleasure chatting to many wonderful concert pianists and pedagogues on camera over the past year, but the interview today takes a slightly different form to that of my Classical Conversations Series. I’m introducing a little subsidiary series called Music Talk. This series focuses on those who work in areas connected to the piano, music education, and the music industry. These areas correlate to the title of this blog. Erica Worth is the editor of the Pianist Magazine and we spoke earlier this week at Steinway Hall in London.

Born in Nottingham, Erica started the piano at the age of five. She studied at the Manhattan School of Music in New York. She received a Liberace scholarship and studied with Constance Keene and Nina Svetlanova.

On returning to the UK, Erica embarked on her first job as Press Officer for EMI Records (Classics). She then worked for IMG Artists, as an artist manager for high-profile musicians. Erica has been editor of Pianist Magazine since its launch in October 2001.

Today, Pianist Magazine is the best-selling piano magazine on the market worldwide.
