Thomas Pandolfi, pianist
Saturday, October 11, 2008, 7:30 p.m.
American pianist, Thomas Pandolfi is emerging as a prodigious virtuoso who excels in reviving the core repertoire from the g
olden age of pianism. Praised for his interesting and innovative programming, Mr. Pandolfi's recitals include the works of
Busoni, Godowsky, Dohnanyi, Chasins,
and his orchestral appearances often feature concerti by Paderewski, MacDowell, Moszkowski, and Anton Rubinstein.
Mr. Pandolfi has performed with such European orchestras as The George Enescu Philharmonic, The Moravian Philharmonic, and the National Philharmonic of the Republic of Moldova. In the United States, he performed with the symphony orchestras of Mississippi, Cedar Rapids, Asheville, Princeton, and San Angelo, to name a few.
The Washington Post described Mr. Pandolfi as “an artist who is master of both the grand gesture and the sensual line. Pandolfi possesses first-rate technical skills, an unerring command of phrasing, a quicksilver touch and cunning legerdemain when it comes to pedaling…etched with calm and crystal clarity…outstanding.”
A graduate student of the Juilliard School, Pandolfi earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees as a scholarship student.
The concert is open to the public. A free-will offering will be received and a reception will follow the concert.
