About the Artist
Peter Serkin has been equally acclaimed for his frequent guest appearances with major symphony orchestras, as recitalist, chamber music performer, and recording artist. He has performed with the orchestras of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, and Japan. His extensive chamber music appearances have included concerts with the Budapest, Guarneri, Galimir, and Vermeer Quartets, and extensive tours in the United States, Europe, and Japan with the acclaimed ensemble "Tashi," of which he was a founding member. He performs with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and appears annually on the Lincoln Center "Great Performers" Series. Mr. Serkin's recital programs and recordings have offered a wide variety of repertoire-Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and much of the piano literature of Olivier Messiaen. A major recording project--the six Mozart concertos composed in 1784, with Alexander Schneider and the English Chamber Orchestra--earned numerous awards for the artist, including Stereo Review's designation as "Best Recording of the Year"; a Grammy nomination; and the coveted Deutsche Schallplatten Prize.
Mr. Serkin studied at the Curtis Institute of Music for six years with three different pianists (one of them his father). He made his first public appearance in 1959 at the age of twelve at Vermont's Marlboro Music Festival, and two years later made his debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra; he began concertizing regularly at seventeen. Peter Serkin has performed twice in Ann Arbor prior to this evening's concert--a duo appearance with his father Rudolf in the 1963 May Festival, and a recital in the 1966 Summer Concert Series.
