Piano Virtuoso JEFFREY BIEGEL will be performing on the Steinway Model B Grand, Jeffrey Biegel will present his own scintillating piano transcription of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons as well as his spectacular rendition of Gershwin’s original 1924 version of Rhapsody in Blue - with 88 missing measures restored! He will also perform Chopin’sBallade no. 1 in G Minor, and Bach’s French Suite no. 5 in G Major(featured on his inaugural recording for the new Steinway Label, Bach on a Steinway, which debuted at #3 on the Classical Billboard Charts). The concert will conclude with surprise encores - some from Mr. Biegel’s new A Steinway Christmas Album.
Beginning with his 1986 debut at Lincoln Center, Mr. Biegel has circled the globe, performing in cities from New York to Los Angeles, London, Paris, Oslo, Istanbul, Tokyo, and beyond. He has performed with such leading orchestras as the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, and the BBC Philharmonic, as well as the Boston and New York Pops. Until the age of three, Jeffrey Biegel could neither hear nor speak - a “reverse Beethoven” phenomenon which, when corrected, supercharged his career. Mr. Biegel initiated the world’s first live internet recitals; has recorded the works of 16 time pop Grammy Winner David Foster; and performed William Bolcom’s Prometheus for Piano, Orchestra and Chorus, composed especially for him.
