ursula oppens
Ursula Oppens, a legend among American pianists, is widely admired for her original and perceptive readings of new music, but also for her knowing interpretations of the standard repertoire. No other artist alive today has commissioned and premiered more new works for the piano that have entered the permanent repertoire. Over the years, Ms. Oppens has premiered works by John Adams, Luciano Berio, Anthony Braxton, Elliott Carter, John Corigliano, Conlon Nancarrow, Charles Wuorinen, Julius Hemphill, John Harbison, Tobias Picker, and many more. A prolific recording artist with five Grammy nominations, Ms. Oppens most recently released a recording of Frederic Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated, nominated for a Grammy in 2016, and Piano Songs, a collaboration with Meredith Monk. As an orchestral guest soloist, Ms. Oppens has performed with virtually all of the world’s major orchestras; highlights include the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Berlin Symphony, and London Philharmonic Orchestras. Ms. Oppens is also an avid chamber musician, performing with the Arditti, Juilliard, and Pacifica quartets, among others. The 2018-19 season will bring Ms. Oppens to Merkin Concert Hall on February 2, 2019 for a celebration of her 75th birthday, as part of the Kaufman Music Center’s newest series, Only at Merkin with Terrance McKnight. Designed to provoke insightful conversation and deepened appreciation of the creative process, the series’ February concert will showcase Ms. Oppens in solo piano works written for her by Elliott Carter and John Corigliano, and will give the world premieres of a piano quintet by Laura Kaminsky alongside the Cassatt String Quartet and Tobias Picker’s Ursula for solo piano.
