The Square Pianist

Lisa Timbs is a pianist with over 30 years of experience as accompanist and soloist. Once referred to by John Rutter as ‘golden fingers,’ she has a reputation for being a supportive and intuitive musician. She maintains the highest level of professionalism whether accompanying a student for their first exam, playing for an award-winning choir on stage at The Royal Festival Hall, featuring as soloist at prestigious functions, or in her persona as ‘The Square Pianist’, where she uses music and replica clothing to bring history to life.

Welcome to her website where you can discover more about her musical background in the biography section, and the inspirations for her popular musical re-enactments which have drawn the attention of local and national press.  

Lisa is also a trained historical milliner and you can explore the historically accurate replica hats and bonnets made by her in ‘Miss Benford’s Emporium’, a little shop of treasures named in honour of her grandmother, herself an accomplished pianist and milliner.
