Karim Said
launched his professional career in 2009, with performances with the English Chamber Orchestra in London's Barbican Centre under the late Sir Colin Davis, and a BBC Proms debut at the Royal Albert Hall with Daniel Barenboim and the West Eastern Divan Orchestra.

January 2015 sees the launch of Said's debut album 'Echoes from an Empire' on Opus Arte, The Royal Opera House's new audio CD label - the very first pianist invited to do so. His programme explores the exciting period of musical innovation that characterised the final years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This season will also see Said perform again with the legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave in her latest production of ‘A World I Loved' in Spoleto, Italy. He will also continue his long association with Daniel Barenboim and the West Eastern Divan Orchestra performing at the Mozarteum as part of the Salzburg Music Festival.

Said has been involved with the West Eastern Divan since it was founded in 1999. After hearing him play at the age of ten Daniel Barenboim commented '‘What you can't learn, he already knows". Said has regularly toured with the orchestra as soloist, under Barenboim's baton, performing at the Philharmonie in Berlin, Musikverein in Vienna, La Scala in Milan, Royal Albert Hall in London and the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow.
