About the artist:

Reed Tetzloff, described by Richard Goode as “a musician of great authority,” has been hailed for his “richly communicative” performances (The Cincinnati Enquirer). He came to international attention at the XV Tchaikovsky Competition, where he was called “the lyrichero of the competition.” (Сноб Magazine).

He has excited audiences worldwide since making his Lincoln Center concerto debut at Alice Tully Hall in 2012. He has appeared in European venues including the Berlin Philharmonie, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Düsseldorf’s Kunstpalast, the Allerheiligen Hofkirche at the Munich Residenz, Prague’s Rudolfinum, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Place Flagey in Brussels, and De Singel in Antwerp. His frequent solo recitals in the United States have been heard from coast to coast. And in Asia, he has performed in major venues in China, and his 2023-2024 season includes a debut tour of South Korea.

South Florida Classical Review recently named Tetzloff’s performance of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the Miami International Piano Festival Orchestra as one of the Top Ten Performances of 2023, and wrote: “Combining artistic intelligence, immaculate technique, and daredevil bravura, Tetzloff’s playing was diosyncratic in the best sense of the term.”

Other orchestral engagements have included the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, and the Wisconsin Philharmonic Orchestra, among many others.

Tetzloff has been in residence at festivals such as the Grand Teton Music Festival, the International Keyboard Institute and Festival, the Miami International Piano Festival, and the Festival de Musique de Wissembourg in France. Reed Tetzloff received career grants from Charlotte White’s Salon de Virtuosi and from the Center for Musical Excellence, which sponsored his debut album Sounds of Transcendence on the Romeo Records label. Reviewing the album, Patrick Rucker in Gramophone Magazine extolled his “kaleidoscopic colors” and “ferventrapture” in music of Franck, Scriabin, and Charles Griffes. Subsequently, he recorded two albums for the Master Performers label; the first, featuring piano works of Robert Schumann, was released in 2021 and noted for its “originality and uncommon perceptiveness” (Voix des Arts).
