Jeremy Kimber considered farming as a career but, while out ploughing a field one day, decided to go to the Welsh College of Music and Drama instead (an allergy to cows aided the decision.) He started as a trombonist, then, after becoming bored with playing only one note at a time, changed his first study to the piano, specialising in accompaniment.
Since leaving college he has taught the piano, performed as soloist and accompanist, conducted and examined. In addition to concerts in the UK, he has performed in Tanzania, Uruguay, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. Jeremy has worked with Young Musician competition winners from Australia, Germany and the UK and performed concertos by Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and Rachmaninov. For eleven years he was Director of Music at Emmanuel Church, Loughborough.
Currently he divides his time between teaching the piano at Nottingham University and performing — now almost exclusively as an accompanist/chamber musician. A keen walker and now, unexpectedly, a runner, not long ago he walked all 630 miles of the South West Coast Path and is often seen nipping around parkrun courses on a Saturday morning or around Loughborough on training runs.
