One of the leading American pianists of his generation, Eric Zuber has won major prizes in seven of the world's most prestigious international piano competitions: Cleveland, Arthur Rubinstein, Dublin, Seoul, Sydney, Minnesota, and Hilton Head. After making his debut at 12 with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, he has gone on to perform with major symphony orchestras around the globe including the Cleveland Orchestra, and the Israel Philharmonic, and has given solo performances in such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, the National Concert Hall in Ireland and the Seoul Arts Center in Korea. He has received degrees from the Peabody Conservatory, the Curtis Institute, and the Juilliard School where his teachers have included Boris Slutsky, Leon Fleisher, Claude Franck, and Robert McDonald. Mr. Zuber's concert will feature the monumental final piano sonata of Beethoven, Op. 111, and the complete book of Chopin's Etudes, Op. 10—a work of daunting pianistic challenges. Co-presented with the San Francisco Chapter of the Chopin Foundation.
