Bio:
Pianist Shai Wosner, Resident Artist of the Peoples’ Symphony Concerts (PSC) from 2020 to 2024, has attracted international recognition for his exceptional artistry, musical integrity, and creative insight. His performances of a broad range of repertoire—from Beethoven and Schubert to Ligeti and the music of today—reflect a degree of virtuosity and intellectual curiosity that has made him a favorite among audiences and critics.
Committed to innovative programming, PSC commissioned for Wosner and gave the world premiere in January 2022 of Variations on a Theme of FDR, a suite of short works by five of today’s leading composers—Derek Bermel, Anthony Cheung, John Harbison, Vijay Iyer, and Wang Lu—which Wosner coupled with Beethoven’s great Diabelli Variations. It was one of the highlights of the 2021-2022 season.
Alexi Kenney, Zoë Martin-Doike, and Peter Wiley are among today’s most distinguished solo and chamber music artists.
