Conrad Tao
PianoPianist and composer Conrad Tao has been
dubbed “the kind of musician who is shaping the future of classical music” by
New York Magazine, and an artist of “probing intellect and open-hearted vision”
by The New York Times.
Conrad’s 2024/25 season includes a return to
Carnegie Hall in recital performing Debussy’s 12 Études, alongside Keyed In, a
work arranged and improvised by Tao on the Lumatone. He also returns to the San
Francisco Symphony to perform Tchaikovsky with Nicholas Collon, the Dallas
Symphony to perform Mozart with Jaap van Zweden, the St Louis Symphony to
perform Saint-Saëns with David Danzmayr, and the Baltimore Symphony to perform
Mozart with Jonathon Heyward. Further appearances include the Indianapolis Symphony’s
opening Gala, as well as performances with the Seoul Philharmonic, and NDR
Hannover with Ingo Metzmacher. He also continues his collaboration with
award-winning dancer Caleb Teicher in a nationwide US tour.
In the 2023/24 season, Conrad made his subscription
debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and re-united with the New York
Philharmonic following summer appearances and his specially curated programme
for their Artist Spotlight series. Meanwhile, he celebrated Rachmaninov’s 150th
anniversary with recitals presented by the Cleveland Orchestra and
Klavierfestival Ruhr. The season also saw performances with the Philadelphia
Orchestra and Marin Alsop, and the Boston Symphony and Dima Slobodeniouk, as
well as performances celebrating the 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue at
the Philharmonie Berlin, Elbphillharmonie Hamburg, and the Concertgebouw
Amsterdam with Matthias Pintscher and the Kansas City Symphony. His companion
piece to Gershwin’s Rhapsody, Flung Out, was commissioned by the Santa Rosa Symphony,
Aspen Music Festival, and Omaha Symphony.
In recent years, Conrad has been the subject
of a special focus with the Finnish Radio Symphony and the Swedish Radio
Symphony, both of whom have presented him over multiple concerts. He has also
performed with the Orchestra Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under both
Orozco-Estrada and Antonio Pappano. As a composer, his work has been performed
by orchestras throughout the world; his first large scale orchestral work,
Everything Must Go, received its world premiere with the New York Philharmonic
and its European premiere with the Antwerp Symphony.
Conrad was the recipient of a New York Dance
and Performance “Bessie” Award for Outstanding Sound Design / Music Composition
for his work on More Forever, in collaboration with dancer and choreographer
Caleb Teicher. He is also the recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career
Grant and was named a Gilmore Young Artist.
