BIOGRAPHY

​

Heidi Wall performs piano solo repertoire, chamber music, and concertos both locally and abroad. While studying with Anya Alexeyev at Wilfrid Laurier University for her Bachelor of Music in piano performance, Heidi placed first in the concerto competition, was awarded the gold medal for music and won two gold medals in the Canadian Music Competition. She then completed three residencies at the Banff Centre, one of which resulted in a recording of Schöenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the Gruppo Montebello which was released on the Etcetera label in Europe. Wall completed a Masters in Music in Performance and Literature at Western University with Stéphan Sylvestre in 2017. During that time, she placed first in the Maritsa Brookes Concerto Competition and was honoured with the prestigious Artistic Performance OGS Award. She is currently a DMA candidate at Western University. In addition to performing, Heidi coordinates the Kitchener-Waterloo Kiwanis Music Festival and teaches piano privately.
