Thomas Piercy – Past Concerts
Thomas Piercy is a critically acclaimed musician with orchestral, concerto, solo recital, and chamber music appearances throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Described by The New York Times as “Brilliant... playing with refinement and flair… evoking a panache in the contemporary works…,” Mr. Piercy presents audiences to varied and exciting concerts of standard classical music, jazz-inspired programs, contemporary works, pieces written specifically for him and his own original arrangements, compositions and collaborations.
Piercy's repertoire ranges from the Classical period to premieres of compositions written for him by some of the most outstanding composers of today, including Ned Rorem, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Jennifer Higdon, Fernando Otero, and Shoichi Yabuta.
