Jill Morton is a distinguished pianist, educator, and chamber musician, recognised for both her dynamic performances and dedication to piano pedagogy. An accomplished performer, Jill has appeared as a concerto soloist with orchestras throughout Britain and has been heard on BBC Radio’s Friday Night is Music Night as soloist with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Future performances scheduled for 2026 include performances of Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini and Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue.

Beyond performance, Jill is a dedicated educator, serving as a Principal Tutor for the Piano Teachers' Course UK, the country’s leading pedagogical programme, where she delivers lectures and mentors both aspiring and experienced piano teachers. Her expertise is widely sought after, and she is frequently invited to give masterclasses and adjudicate competitions. She is also a tutor for the Summer School for Pianists and Pianissimi courses.

Jill also has a popular YouTube channel featuring repertoire from the ABRSM and Trinity graded music syllabuses, as well as other piano repertoire, which has received over 3 million views. She teaches at the Perse School in Cambridge and is the founder of Encore!

It is wonderful to welcome Jill back to her Scottish Borders roots to perform with the Borders Chamber Orchestra
