Steven Mayer Pianomania Nordica, presented by Niklas Sivelöv

About this event

One of the most versatile and moving pianists of today's music scene, Steven Mayer is credited by The New York Times with "piano playing at its most awesome." Gramophone named his recording of Ives' Concord Sonata "a mainstream marvel" and one of the top three recordings of the work. Equally at home in classical music or jazz, Mayer's ASV recording of Liszt's Totentanz with the London Symphony was recognized by Gramophone as "one of the best in the catalogue." Of his Naxos CD of Art Tatum solos, the magazine wrote, "you could be listening to the great man himself." An ardent pedagogue, Steven Mayer's masterclass schedule takes him to Universitat der Kunste Berlin, the Royal Danish Conservatory, the Eastman School of Music and the New England Conservatory among other schools. He has served on the major faculty of the Manhattan School of Music and is currently Professor of Piano at the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music.
