Timeline

1961

Sir Stephen Andrew Gill Hough (born 22 November 1961) is a British-born classical pianist, composer and writer.

1978

In 1978, he was a finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition and won the piano section.

1982

In 1982, he won the Terence Judd Award in England.

1983

In 1983, he took first prize at the Naumburg International Piano Competition in New York City.

Hough holds a master's degree from the Juilliard School, where his studies were assisted by the receipt of the first Royal Philharmonic Society Julius Isserlis Scholarship for study abroad.

He has studied with Heather Slade-Lipkin, Gordon Green, Adele Marcus, Martin Canin, and Derrick Wyndham.

A prominent soloist, he is also a composer and transcriber, and often includes his own works in his recitals.

He has published over 30 pieces.

2001

Hough's recording of Saint-Saëns's piano concertos won the Gramophone Record of the Year in 2001 and was later voted the Gold Disc, "winner of winners" in a poll commemorating 30 years of the award.

2005

He became an Australian citizen in 2005 and thus has dual nationality (his father was born in Australia in 1926).

Hough was born in Heswall (then in Cheshire) on the Wirral Peninsula, and grew up in Thelwall, where he began piano lessons at the age of five.

His father, who was born in Australia, worked as a technical representative for British Steel before his death at the age of 54.

At an early age, Hough was able to memorise approximately 100 nursery rhymes.

After much pleading, his parents agreed to buy a second-hand piano for £5 from a local antique shop.

At the age of 12 he suffered what he has described as a "mini-nervous breakdown", triggered by a mugging incident, which resulted in him taking almost a year off school.

Hough studied at Chetham's School of Music, which he later called "not a wonderful place while I was there", and at the Royal Northern College of Music.

2007

His cello concerto, written for Steven Isserlis, premiered in March 2007, and in the summer of that year, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral performed masses he wrote for them.

His song cycles Herbstlieder (2007), Other Love Songs (2010), and Dappled Things (2016) were premiered by members of The Prince Consort.

2009

In 2009, members of the Berlin Philharmonic premiered Hough's trio for piccolo, contrabassoon and piano (Was mit den Traenen geschieht) at the Philharmonie.

2011

He premiered his Sonata for Piano (broken branches) at the Wigmore Hall in 2011.

His recording of the complete Chopin waltzes won the Diapason d'Or de l'Année in 2011.

Hough is also known for championing lesser-known composers considered outside the standard repertoire, such as Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Xaver Scharwenka, York Bowen, and Federico Mompou.

Hough's compositions can be heard on the BIS Records album Broken Branches and on the Prince Consort album Other Love Songs, on Linn Records.

His second piano sonata (notturno luminoso) appears on his album In The Night, and his cello sonata on a recital disc with Steven Isserlis.

His sequence Hallowed for unaccompanied choir was recorded by Harry Christophers and The Sixteen on their CD 'Star of Heaven'.

Yo-Yo Ma recorded two of his transcriptions on his album with Kathryn Stott, Song of Comfort and Hope.

Hough's fourth piano sonata is the title track on his 2021 album Vida Breve.

2012

In 2012, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir gave the world premiere of the orchestrated version of his Missa Mirabilis.

2015

The Colorado Symphony and Andrew Litton recorded this work for Hyperion Records in 2015.

Hough has written four sonatas for solo piano.

2017

In 2017, Pentatone-Oxingale Records released an album commemorating the inaugural opening of the Tippet Rise Festival, featuring Hough, Christopher O'Riley, and Matt Haimovitz, among others.

Hough is a visiting professor of piano at the Royal Academy of Music in London and the International Chair of Piano Studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.

He is also on the faculty of the Juilliard School.

Hough joined the Roman Catholic Church when he was 19.

Twice in his life he considered becoming a priest, in particular joining the Franciscan Order.

Hough has written about his homosexuality and its relationship with both his music-making and his religion.

For 15 years, following his Catholic conversion, he was celibate.

2020

In 2020, his anthology of essays Rough Ideas won the Royal Philharmonic Society Award for the Storytelling Category.

Hough has recorded more than 60 albums, one of his most notable being a set of the four Rachmaninoff piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, recorded during live performances with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under then music director Andrew Litton, which have been compared to Rachmaninoff's own recordings.

These recordings won him his seventh Gramophone Award as well as the Classical BRIT Critics Award.
