Before the age of 30, Jonathan Biss has already proven himself among the world’s most accomplished and exceptional musicians. “One of the most striking North American pianists of the new generation” (Toronto Globe and Mail), he is noted for his prodigious technique, artistic maturity and versatility. On the heels of last year’s sold out joint recital with Richard Goode, Biss returns to the Perelman Theater with a program of works by Janacek, Beethoven, Schumann and Rands.
