Powerfully compelling pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is widely acclaimed for his electrifying performances, distinctive sound, and insightful interpretations. His virtuosic command over the most arduous technical complexities underpins the remarkable depth and understanding of his music-making. A pianist of widespread international acclaim, he has been Artist-in-Residence at the prestigious Wigmore Hall in London with three varying projects. Previously, he was Artist-in-Residence at both Radio France and with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. His "astounding technical gifts, the freshness of his imagination, his intense concentration, the absence of any kind of show, and the unmistakable sense of poetic immersion directed solely at the realization of music" have been lauded by Suddeutsche Zeitung.
