A Celebration of the Life and Work of David Miller

Guildhall School of Music & Drama

,Milton Court Concert Hall
David Miller playing the lute

We present a special concert celebrating the life and work of former Guildhall School Historical Performance tutor David Miller.

David sadly passed away earlier this year, but leaves a lasting legacy through the students he taught over more than 30 years at the School, several of whom are now teaching here themselves. 

A widely celebrated player of lute, theorbo and early guitars, David performed with many of the UK’s leading period instrument ensembles and appeared on acclaimed recordings with artists including soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and violinist Rachel Podger. 

The evening will pay tribute to David’s remarkable musicianship, his generosity as a teacher and collaborator, and his enduring influence on generations of Guildhall musicians.
