Recognized as an artist of great passion, integrity, and intelligence, the preeminent American pianist Peter Serkin – member of one of classical music’s most distinguished families – conveys the essence of five centuries of repertoire through recital appearances, collaborations, performances with symphony orchestras, and award winning recordings. The Boston Globe hails Peter Serkin as “an original musical thinker who, once he has an idea, finds a way to realize it on the piano.”
