One of the world’s most inspirational pianists, Nicholas McCarthy was born in 1989 without his right hand and, through talent and determination, overcame significant obstacles to pursue his love of the piano. He studied at the Royal College of Music in London, becoming the only onehanded pianist to graduate in its 130-year history. A passionate advocate for often overlooked left-hand-alone repertoire, Nicholas made his BBC Proms debut in 2025.
