Recently honoured as an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM), Tim Rumsey is a UK-based soloist and chamber musician, having delighted audiences at venues including the V&A Museum, Chichester Cathedral and Champs Hill in Sussex, as well as concert halls further afield in Italy and Spain. Tim launched his debut album, Transcriptions, in Autumn 2025 to great acclaim, being ranked No.4 in Textura’s Top 20 for 2025 in the Instrumental category.
Festival collaborations have included the Pordenone Silent Film Festival in Italy and the Cheltenham Music Festival (UK), with concerto appearances including Beethoven’s 4th Piano Concerto with the Chichester Symphony Orchestra.
Alongside performing, Tim has a busy teaching and accompanying schedule at St. Catherine’s School in Bramley, Surrey, and the Junior Department of the Royal Academy of Music in London. His enthusiasm as a jazz pianist and composer also feeds into his teaching, and he encourages pupils of all ages to think creatively and independently. Tim also enjoys accompanying choirs in his native Sussex as well as in London.
