Acclaimed young American pianist Drew Petersen is a sought-after soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. “With technique to spare as well as tenderness and lyricism that many pianists gloss over” (The New York Times), he has already appeared in major series including the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts, Ravinia Festival, and Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival. He is the recipient of the 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant and winner of the 2017 American Pianists Awards and Christel DeHaan Classical Fellowship. Petersen continually advocates for the necessity of classical music and other arts in society, and was named a 2006 Davidson Fellow for his portfolio entitled Keeping Classical Music Alive.
