CANCELED: Drew Petersen, piano

Galvin Recital Hall

For the health and safety of the Bienen School community and our valued patrons, this event has been canceled.

The New York Times raves that Drew Petersen “had technique to spare during the dazzling episodes, and plumbed the piece for tenderness and lyricism that many pianists gloss over.” BBC Music Magazine praised his first solo recording of American music on the Steinway label, citing his “stunning, full-bodied sound” and “superb technique.” The acclaimed pianist is the recipient of the 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant, the 2017 American Pianists Award, and was named the Christel DeHaan Fellow of the American Pianists Association. He has appeared with the Houston, Phoenix, Tucson, Pacific, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestras, as well as in solo recitals at the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, University of Indianapolis, and Dame Myra Hess Concerts in Chicago. Recent festival performances have included Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, the Brevard Music Center’s Summer Festival, and Chicago’s Ravinia Festival, and his 2019-20 season includes his Kennedy Center debut.
