Geoffrey Burleson, piano, has performed to wide acclaim throughout Europe and North America, and is equally active as a recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber musician and jazz performer. The New York Times has hailed his solo performances as “vibrant” and “compelling,” and has praised his “command, projection of rhapsodic qualities without loss of rhythmic vigor, and appropriate sense of spontaneity and fetching colors.” Burleson has performed solo recitals in prominent venues in Paris (at the Église St-Merri), New York (Carnegie Recital Hall), Rome (American Academy), Athens (Mitropoulos Hall), Mexico City (National Museum of Art), Chicago (Dame Myra Hess Memorial Series), and elsewhere. He is currently recording the complete piano works of Camille Saint-Saëns, which will be released on five volumes on the new Naxos Grand Piano label. The first three volumes were released in 2012. Burleson is Associate Professor of Music and Director of Piano Studies at Hunter College.
