Sir András Schiff, piano

A consummate musician, with a ferocious intellect, Sir András Schiff is one of the greatest pianists of our time. World-renowned as a pianist, conductor, pedagogue, and lecturer, he brings masterful and intellectual insights to his performances which have inspired audiences and critics alike.

His many honours include the International Mozarteum Foundation’s Golden Medal, Germany’s Great Cross of Merit with Star, the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Gold Medal, a Knighthood for Services to Music, and a Doctorate from the Royal College of Music.

"Schiff stands with perhaps only a handful of pianists in his total achievement of the most severe beauty." (Philadelphia Inquirer)

"He drew listeners with his singing tone, elegantly shaped phrases and exquisite contrapuntal detailing." (Los Angeles Times).
A Koerner Hall favourite since our opening season, this recital marks Schiff’s eighth performance in Koerner Hall.

Sir András Schiff is no longer providing exact recital programs in advance and prefers to announce his repertoire from the stage.
