• “contemporary pianist virtuoso”  Line of Best Fit

With regular bookings in venues such as Adelaide Convention Centre, Chateau Tanunda and other wedding and function venues, Rich Batsford performs across the state of South Australia and beyond, presenting music that’s relaxing, beautiful and always easy on the ear.

• "the ultimate aid for relaxation" The Music Quarter

Recently, Rich’s beguiling original compositions have begun to enter the national consciousness following frequent airings on ABC Classic FM, and has been streamed online over 65 million times.

But its not only classically influenced music you will hear from Rich as favourites of lounge, standards, light jazz, classical & sixties pop ensure there’s plenty for all to enjoy.

Please enjoy this sampler of Rich performing his unique and original compositions, and here performing highlights of the music of Ludovico Einaudi.

Key performances to date include the UK’s Big Chill and Gigbeth Festivals, the Edinburgh and Melbourne Fringes and a very succuessful run at the Adelaide Fringe (rated Outstanding Show by Fringe Review) and attracting full houses in the beautful and iconic venue of Ayers House.

Don’t worry if your venue doesn't have a piano on site, Rich also plays a portable and independently powered Roland FP4 digital piano with a wonderful sound, featuring inbuilt speakers suitable for smaller venues and very easy to amplify for the larger occasion.

“Rich helped create a wonderful atmosphere for our guests with his warm, relaxing and very enjoyable music. We were so pleased with his service, we booked him again shortly afterwards and are looking forward to having him return soon.”
Giovanna Toldi, Adelaide Convention Centre

“The music for our dinner was excellent and many commented on how fantastic he was. I would recommend Rich to anyone thinking of hiring a pianist.”
