Holiday Traditions with Jeffrey Biegel, piano
Virtuosic performer, Jeffrey Biegel, returns to the Series for the holiday season. In 1985, Leonard Bernstein said of the pianist: “He is a splendid musician and a brilliant performer.” Those comments together with numerous first place competition prizes helped launch a prolific and varied career as a soloist, composer, arranger and chamber musician. Earlier this year, Mr. Biegel was soloist for Kenneth Fuchs’s Grammy award winning “Piano Concerto “Spiritualist with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Chosen as the first pianist to record for the Steinway & Sons label, his performance will feature Bach, Mozart and Chopin along with selections from his CD, “A Steinway Christmas” which reached No. 1 on the Classical Billboard charts.
