Born without a right hand, he was the first left-hand-only pianist to graduate from the Royal College of Music in London in its 130-year history.[1] McCarthy was raised in Tadworth, Surrey.[2] He began his piano studies at 14, and by 17 was accepted into the Junior department at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he won the annual piano prize, on the proviso that he focus on repertoire written specifically for the left hand.[1][3] He then enrolled in the keyboard department at the Royal College of Music, becoming its first left-hand-only graduate in 2012. McCarthy was an original member of the British Paraorchestra, an ensemble founded by conductor Charles Hazlewood in 2011, which performed alongside Coldplay during the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London in September 2012. He left the British Paraorchestra shortly after to pursue several international solo tours.[4] On 23 September 2013 McCarthy spoke of his experiences at a TED conference held at the Royal Albert Hall.[5] In 2014 he featured as a guest presenter for the BBC Proms televised broadcast.[6] On 4 November 2015, McCarthy appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row programme, during which he discussed the recording of his debut album Solo, which had recently reached Number 4 in the classical music charts.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/9503659/One-handed-pianist-Nicholas-McCarthy-graduates-from-Royal-College-of-Music.html |title=One-handed pianist Nicholas McCarthy graduates from Royal College of Music |author=Donna Bowater |accessdate=2014-11-24 |date=2012-08-28 |publisher=The Telegraph}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=One-handed pianist Nicholas McCarthy 'an inspiration'|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-19179499|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=2014-11-24|location=Surrey|first=Peter|last=Jackson|date=15 August 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Concert pianist Nicholas McCarthy on music education and the Paralympics|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/10955968/Concert-pianist-Nicholas-McCarthy-on-music-education-and-the-Paralympics.html|publisher=The Telegraph|accessdate=2016-02-02|location=London|first=Lucinda|last=Everett|date=11 July 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Coldplay join the paraorchestra of disabled musicians for closing ceremony|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/sep/01/orchestra-disabled-people-play-paralympics?newsfeed=true|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=2014-11-24|location=London|first=Maggie|last=Brown|date=1 September 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.ted.com/tedx/events/7663 |title=TEDx Albertopolis |accessdate=2014-11-24 |date=2013-09-23 |publisher=TED}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/proms-new-presenters |title=BBC Proms 2014 Broadcast Festival: new presenters, new ways to watch and listen |accessdate=2014-11-24 |date=2014-04-24 |publisher=BBC}} 7. ^{{cite web | title= Front Row: Nicholas McCarthy, Backstage at the theatre, Burnt review, Dominic Sandbrook|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06mys65| author=| website= BBC | accessdate= 4 November 2015}} External links
