Jill Crossland is from West Yorkshire and studied at Chethams School of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music with Ryszard Bakst and in Vienna with Paul Badura-Skoda and Sally Sargeant and now pursues an active concert and recording career.

Jill has played regularly on the South Bank and at the Wigmore Hall in London; her appearances have also included Bridgewater Hall, St George’s Bristol, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Vienna Musikverein, Vienna Konzerthaus, Sage Gateshead and the National Concert Hall, Dublin. She has been a member of the Arts Council England Musicians in Residence scheme.

Jill’s recordings include works by Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, Mozart and Beethoven for the Divine Art and Diversions labels, as well as the Bach Goldberg Variations and the complete Bach Well-tempered Clavier for Signum. Her recordings have received high critical praise on both sides of the Atlantic. Among many critical plaudits, her Bach has been described “among the most satisfying recent releases of [his] keyboard music” (Rob Cowan BBC Radio 3) and “rank[ing] with the finest previous versions, altogether a remarkable achievement” (Penguin Guide to CDs) and her Beethoven as “magnetic” and “delightful” by American Record Guide.

Jill has appeared on radio and TV, including live and recorded broadcasts on BBC Radios 3 and 4 and has featured in the Classic FM Hall of Fame.
