San Francisco International Piano Festival - Alexandre Dossin

Presented by Old First Concerts

The San Francisco International Piano Festival is proud to present pianist Alexandre Dossin in this solo recital and festival debut. Considered by Martha Argerich an “extraordinary musician” and by the international critics a “phenomenon” and “a master of contrasts,” Steinway Artist Alexandre Dossin keeps an active performing, recording, and teaching career. Alexandre Dossin is Professor of Piano and Chair of Keyboard at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance. Originally from Brazil, Alexandre Dossin is a graduate from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Russia) and holds a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin (USA).

Mr. Dossin has championed both classic and contemporary composers through performance, recording, and preparation of scores for Schirmer Performance Editions. The recital will include music by George Walker, a composer with whom Mr. Dossin has special affinity, having recorded his complete works for piano on the Naxos label.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear these vital musical voices in masterful performances!

The San Francisco International Piano Festival is supported in part by a grant from the Ross McKee Foundation.
