At 30 years old, Biss has already developed a distinct musical personality to match his outstanding virtuosity. Wherever he plays, he wins over critics—the Chicago Sun-Times called him a “poetic pianist of the first order”—and moves audiences. Catch him as he makes his Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage debut with monumental Beethoven and Schumann, and a work by a Pulitzer Prize winner written specifically for him.
