Cornell Concert Series: Jonathan Biss

Praised as “a superb pianist and also an eloquent and insightful music writer” ( The Boston Globe) with “impeccable taste and a formidable technique” (The New Yorker), Biss has appeared internationally as a soloist with the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics, the Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco Symphonies, and the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, as well as the London Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw, the Philharmonia, and Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, among many other ensembles. Biss is a teacher, musical thinker, and performer whose repertoire ranges from the core canon to contemporary commissions. Here at Cornell, he will be performing works by Franz Schubert and Tyshawn Sorey.

“…a pianist whose probing, incisive, and deeply considered performances are consistently challenging and rewarding." – San Fransisco Classical Voice
