Michael Sheppard Piano Recital

Already a rising star of his generation of artists, Michael Sheppard is a pianist of dazzling virtuosity and penetrating musicianship. Trained at the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he studied with the great Leon Fleisher and Ann Schein.

Sheppard is a well sought-after pianist to perform in solo recitals or as a soloist with many orchestras of the world. He has also played in several Weill(Carnegie)hall recitals. Sheppard has received critical acclaim as a grand interpreter of transcriptions of operatic tunes as well as American musical theatre in addition to the traditional piano repertory. Deeply committed to new music, he has worked closely with composers Nicholas Maw, Michael Hersch, Robert Sirota and John Corigliano. Sheppard is a composer in his own right and often programs his original compositions. His recently-released album of contemporary American music for the Harmonia Mundi label has been getting rave reviews.
