Graham Caskie was born in Darlington and educated in Devon. He trained at the Birmingham School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music under Frank Wibaut, and won all of the major prizes at both institutions.  An experienced concerto soloist, recital pianist and chamber musician, he has also broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. He is committed to the idea of bringing contemporary music to a wider audience and achieves this by including new pieces into traditional recital programmes.

As part of the preparation for his Metier CD, Graham played and discussed the four works with the composers - a unique and enviable opportunity for a young pianist. He is also a member of the Park Lane Group and made his South Bank debut for them in 1994.
