German native Elisabeth Streichert is a London-based conductor and pianist.

Elisabeth received her musical education as a pianist at the Musikhochschule Lübeck and pursued further studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she received a Master of Arts degree with Distinction and was awarded the Andrew Sykes Award. 

She is in-demand as a piano recitalist in Germany and throughout Europe, and has performed as a soloist with multiple orchestras in Germany. Recent performances include the Beethoven C minor, Mozart in A major KV 466, and Chopin F minor concertos. 

In the 2024/25 season Elisabeth is dedicating her focus on music by Bach, with recitals including the 24 Preludes and Fugues of the Well-Tempered Clavier Book I.

Her work as a performer has taken her to stages such as Wigmore Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Laeiszhalle Hamburg and Harpa in Iceland as well as Rittergut Lucklum with a live radio broadcast on Deutschland Radio Kultur.

As an active chamber musician, Elisabeth is a member and founder of the Phacelia Ensemble. The Phacelia Ensemble comprises five stringed instruments and piano to give voice to the idea of ‘Concertos in Miniature,’ which aims to perform piano concertos transcribed by Elisabeth for alternative/smaller venues to present the audience with a more intimate sound experience. The programme is always paired with large-scale chamber music works, such as piano quintets, piano quartets and string quartets to show the relationship between these two genres. 

Elisabeth has also expanded her focus on conducting. She has been a participant in the International Masterclass Berlin with Colin Metters, was appointed assistant conductor of a performance of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde with the London Opera Company under the direction of Peter Selwyn. Additionally, she is working with a variety of chamber and symphony orchestras in and around London including the Blackfriars Rehearsal Orchestra and Lambeth Orchestra. She is also the conductor and curator of the Little London Music School’s Big Concerts, a new family concert series for children up to the age of eight and their families, and has founded a rehearsal orchestra, the Ad Hoc Players.
