About the Artist

Pianist David Korevaar brings his consummate artistry to repertoire from Bach to the present. His critically acclaimed performances and recordings are only one facet of a career that has encompassed composing and writing on music as well as a professorship at the University of Colorado.

Mr. Korevaar has been heard at major venues in New York including Weill Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Town Hall, and Merkin Concert Hall. He has performed across the United States from Boston, New York and Washington, DC to Chicago, Cincinnati, Houston, Dallas and San Diego, and he plays frequently in his home state of Colorado with orchestras, in chamber ensembles and in solo recitals. International performances have included appearances at London's Wigmore Hall, and in Australia, Japan, Korea, Abu Dhabi and Europe. Korevaar has performed as soloist with orchestras throughout the United States.

Currently a member of the Boulder Public Library's ensemble-in-residence, the Boulder Piano Quartet and University of Texas at Dallas's resident Clavier Trio, Korevaar has performed as guest artist with the Takács, Manhattan and Colorado Quartets, among other groups. He was a founding member of the Young Concert Artists Award-winning piano and wind ensemble Hexagon, with which he toured for many years.

David Korevaar's most recent CDs include three Beethoven Sonatas, and Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin, Gaspard de la nuit, and Miroirs. His broad musical interests and extensive repertoire are reflected in his recordings, ranging from the two books of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier to the piano music of Lowell Liebermann, Volume 1 and Volume 2. He has recorded Brahms Variations, piano music of Hungarian composer Ernst von Dohnányi, and transcriptions (his own and Liszt's) of orchestral music by Franz Liszt, including the rarely heard 2nd Mephisto Waltz.

David Korevaar's interest in new music is reflected in his programming. In addition to his continuing association with the music of Lowell Liebermann, Korevaar has performed and recorded music by composers including Paul Schoenfield, Mike Barnett, Aaron Jay Kernis, George Rochberg, Aaron Copland, Ned Rorem, Stephen Jaffe, Scott Eyerly and Libby Larsen. He gave the New York premiere of three of Harrison Birtwistle's Harrison's Clocks as part of the Juilliard School's Piano Century series in 2000. He is a frequent participant in the University of Colorado's Pendulum new music series.
