Eric Parkin (born 1924, Stevenage, England is an English pianist. Parkin studied at Trinity College of Music in London, firstly as an Opera Scholar, and was then awarded a Degree Scholarship. Parkin made his debut in London in 1948. A turning point was the start of a long career in radio followed shortly afterwards by his meeting with composer John Ireland. A Prom debut with Malcolm Sargent and the BBC Symphony Orchestra in J. Ireland's Piano Concerto brought him before a wider audience. Over the years he has appeared with many of the leading British orchestras, building a repertoire of over 70 works. www.bach-cantatas.com International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHdroberts 10/24/2013 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 4391a659-8941-49e9-92a3-372bb5460891
