Allegro–Fuga: Alleg ro risoluto\nMarkus Groh gained immediate world attention after winning f irst prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels in 1995\, the fi rst German to do so. Since then\, his unique sound and astonishing techniq ue have confirmed his place among the finest pianists in the world. Sharin g the same birthday with Alfred Brendel\, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli\, and Maurizio Pollini\, he has proven himself worthy of their company.\n\nW ith a career spanning three decades\, Mr. Groh has performed with over 1 40 orchestras worldwide. In North America those orchestras include the Cle veland Orchestra\, New York Philharmonic\, Philadelphia Orchestra\, San Fr ancisco Symphony\, and the National Symphony Orchestra\; in Europe Mr. Gr oh has appeared with the London Symphony\, St. Petersburg Philharmonic\, Budapest Festival Orchestra\, Finnish Radio Symphony\, Orchestre de la Sui sse Romande\, and most of the top German orchestras under such distinguish ed conductors as Ivan Fischer\, Neeme Järvi\, Hannu Lintu\, Fabio Luisi\, Kent Nagano\, Jonathan Nott\, and David Robertson.\n\nIn 2019 Sony Classi cal released its first recording featuring Markus Groh performing Danny Elfman’s piano quartet with members of the Berlin Philharmonic. Mr. Gro h’s previous solo recordings all won prestigious awards including “Ed itor’s Choice” (Gramophone Magazine)\, “Stern des Monats” (Fonofor um)\, “Recording of the Month” (Musicweb International)\, and “Super sonic Award” (Pizzicato Magazine).\n\nA captivating recitalist\, Mr. Gr oh elicits shapes\, textures\, and colors that one seldom hears in live p erformance. He performs solo recitals worldwide\, in some of the most impo rtant venues\, in cities such as Amsterdam\, Athens\, Berlin\, Brussels\, Frankfurt\, London\, Milan\, Munich\, New York\, Paris\, Tokyo\, Toronto\, Vancouver\, Vienna\, Washington\, D.C.\, and Zurich.\n\nIn addition to hi s successful performing career\, Markus Groh is the founder and director of the Bebersee Festival\, a chamber music festival near Berlin which in 2019 celebrated its 20th anniversary. The innovative concerts\, regularly broadcast on German national radio\, take place in an aircraft hangar tha t was previously used by Soviet troops during the Cold War. The contrast b etween the space’s former use and the beauty of the great chamber music repertoire inspires meaningful and memorable performances. This dichotomy also fosters unique ideas that include multimedia presentations\, collabor ations with stage actors\, and unusual and thoughtful programmatic ideas\, all of which will be expanded upon in coming seasons. Musicians performin g at the festival include Kirill Gerstein\, Alina Pogostkina\, Arabella St einbacher\, Akiko Suwanai\, Lars Vogt\, and many others.\n\nA project from 2010 in which he traveled throughout Germany by horse-drawn carriage perf orming recitals on a replica of the 1836 Steinway No. 1 “Kitchen Piano ” also illustrates Mr. Groh’s visionary thinking. The tour was docum ented by the renowned German filmmaker Ralf Pleger and broadcast multiple times on German public television. The film highlighted many of the stark differences between the 19th and 21st centuries and also made reference to the environmental impact of modern society\, an idea that ten years lat er is one of the most urgent issues facing the world.\n\nMarkus Groh was a student of Konrad Richter in Stuttgart and Hans Leygraf in Berlin and Sa lzburg. He is currently Professor of Piano at the University of the Arts i n Berlin.\n\nhttps://www.markusgroh.org/\n\nMarkus Groh is represented by Schmidt Artists International\, Inc.: https://www.schmidtart.com/\n\nClick here for more information about our chamber music programs.\n\nChamber Mu sic at the Clark is made possible by The Ahmanson Foundation\; The Colbur n Foundation\; Martha Bardach\; Catherine Glynn Benkaim\, Ph.D. and Barbar a Timmer\; Dr. Rogers Brubaker\; Patricia N.
