the Musicians
Thomas Pandolfi
|
The young American pianist Thomas Pandolfi
is an exciting virtuoso who, with each passing season, is becoming more
and more sought after by audiences worldwide, and showered with
superlatives by critics for his passionate artistry and amazing
technique. His orchestral appearances often feature not only the
beloved masterpiece concerti by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Liszt, but
also the equally brilliant ones by Paderewski,
Rubinstein and
Moszkowski. Additionally in the "Pops" genre, Thomas is considered a
leading interpreter of the works of George Gershwin.
While the
2008-09 season marked Thomas' debut recitals in Canada, Germany and
China, the 2009-10 season highlighted his debut in London, as well as
return engagements throughout Eastern Europe, and concerts both as
recitalist and soloist with orchestras across the United States.
Pandolfi released his 6th CD album during the 2010-11 season, and
returned to China in August of 2011 for his second tour of that
country.
Additionally, he made his recital debut in Toronto
during the 2011-12 season, as well as stepped in on 48 hour notice to
perform the Rachmaninov Second Piano Concerto for The Alexandria
Symphony's closing concert of that season. Last season, he performed a
highly successful and acclaimed 15 state recital tour across the United
States. 2013-14 will include another 15 state recital tour, as well as
debuts with the Dubuque Symphony on their Gala Opening Night, The
National Philharmonic at The Strathmore Music Center in Maryland, and
the Wilson Symphony in North Carolina. He will reappear with
Symphonicity on their Gala Opening concert at the Sandler Center for
the Performing Arts in Virginia Beach, as well as enjoy a return
engagement with the St. Augustine Orchestra.
A graduate of The Juilliard School, Pandolfi earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees as a scholarship student.
This
is Thomas’s third appearance on the Historical Piano Concerts Series.
