Galvin Recital Hall

“An extraordinary exhibition of musicianship, technical control and good taste which lent the music a freshness, immediacy and conviction one all too seldom encounters”
The London Times

Since winning the Silver Medal in the Seventh Van Cliburn International Competition, Philippe Bianconi has enthralled audiences and critics throughout the world. He has appeared with North America’s finest orchestras, including those of Cleveland, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Chicago. In Europe, Bianconi has appeared with James Conlon and the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Paris for a sold-out performance of Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto in the Paris Garnier Opera House. In 2012 Bianconi’s recording of Debussy’s Preludes for the La Dolce Volta label received a prestigious Diapason d’Or de l’Année, a nomination for “Recording of the Year” at the Victoires de la Musique Classique, and the Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles Cros. This performance will be followed by a subscriber reception.
