Mr. Perahia’s recital program will include works by J.S. Bach, Beethoven and Chopin.

“His sound can be pure gold, and he voices chords with a clarity that you have to hear to believe.” (Washington Post)

Murray Perahia’s place in the pantheon of great musicians is indisputable. With 12 UMS appearances since his debut over 40 years ago, he is one of the most treasured artists to appear on our series and consistently delivers performances that audiences remember years, or even decades, later. Born in New York, he started playing piano at the age of four; later, he spent his summers at the Marlboro Festival where he collaborated with such musicians as Rudolf Serkin, Pablo Casals, and members of the Budapest String Quartet. In subsequent years, he developed a close friendship with Vladimir Horowitz, whose perspective and personality were an abiding inspiration. A master of a vast range of repertoire, he can reveal the complex inner voices of a Baroque fugue with stunning clarity, pour out a sustained legato line in a Romantic nocturne, or summon thunder in a Beethoven sonata. “The commanding insights he brings to this repertory are more than enough to breathe freshness and distinction into works we’ve heard many times before, but seldom played at this inspired level.” (Chicago Tribune)
