The Artist

Mitra Alice Tham MA, MM, PGDipRAM, B Mus.(Hons), FLCM, LLCM, LRAM, LMusA, ATCL gave her first public performance was at the age of three and her international debut at the age of eight in Japan. Originally from Malaysia, a prizewinner at International competitions, she has performed to luminary dignitaries including HRH, The Prince of Wales, where Prince Charles described the performance as ‘brilliant and excellent’. She gave the London premiere of Leroy Anderson’s Piano Concerto and was invited to a Reception ‘A Celebration of Young People in the Performing Arts’ given by Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Mitra was commissioned to compose an anthem for Malaysia’s national project: Melaka Gateway. This launch was presided by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, with Mitra on the podium conducting. Mitra is invited yearly to Asia to give concerts and masterclasses and to adjudicate in music festivals…well, that was pre-Covid times, which seems like another century ago. She is looking forward to sharing her music with everybody now that the world has ‘opened up’, post-covid.
