Matthew Grabil

Matthew Graybil is a "rising star" among young American pianists, and his playing was praised by the Southampton Press as "hypnotic and compelling." A prize-winner in national and international competitions, he has given solo recitals and performed with orchestras and in chamber groups in the United States, Canada, France and the Netherlands. He began his piano studies at age 6 and gave his first recital within a year. For his orchestral debut at age 14 he performed Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Following undergraduate and graduate study with Jerome Lowenthal at the Juilliard School, he launched his professional career. Earlier this year, he collaborated with Franco Center favorite Igor Lovchinsky in a critically-praised recital at New York City's SubCulture Arts Underground, featuring rarely-performed two-piano works by Walter Piston and Aaron Copland.
