Christopher Duigan

Christopher Duigan (born 1968) is a South African born pianist, composer and independent classical music entrepreneur [1] who is considered, both by critics and audiences, to be one of the leading concert pianists in South Africa. Duigan is a Steinway Artist[2] and he has played professionally since 1991, performing solo, with ensembles or associates, approximately 100 events a year.[3] Although a classically trained musician, he has made classical music accessible to a wider audience. Duigan has launched alternative venues for performances, using his own home, Casa Mexicana [4] playing in patrons homes, at beautiful venues[5] or offering concerts via live streaming [6] while also performing in traditional concert halls with the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic, the Cape Philharmonic; and Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra.[7]
