STEUERMAN, JEAN LOUIS Jean Louis Steuerman was born in Rio de Janeiro into a musical family. He began his studies at the age of four and made his début with the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra when he was fourteen. He first came to Europe after winning a scholarship to the Naples Conservatory in 1967. He was a prize-winner at the 1972 J.S. Bach Competition in Leipzig and he quickly gained recognition throughout Europe as a soloist and recitalist. Solo appearances with orchestras have included collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra under Claudio Abbado, and the Royal Philharmonic under both Lord Menuhin, and under Vladimir Ashkenazy, with whom he played Britten’s Piano Concerto at the Athens Festival. He made his début at the BBC Promenade Concerts in 1985 to great critical acclaim when he played Bach’s Concerto in D minor with the Polish Chamber Orchestra. Other orchestral engagements have included concerts with the English Chamber, Hallé, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras, and the Bournemouth Sinfonietta. He has appeared with the Leipzig Gewandhaus under Kurt Masur, the Basel Symphony with Heinz Holliger, the Helsinki Philharmonic, Zurich Tonhalle, Berlin Symphony, Nouvel Orchestre Philharmonique and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano. He has also performed with many American orchestras including appearances with the Florida Philharmonic, the Baltimore Symphony and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. He tours extensively throughout Europe, North America and Japan, appearing regularly in major recital series on both sides of the Atlantic. He also collaborates in chamber music with some of the world’s finest musicians. His repertoire stretches across a wide range of periods and genres and he takes particular care to include late twentieth century works in his recitals. In recent years he has given first performances of a number of important new works. Jean Louis Steuerman’s recordings include solo piano music of Scriabin, Mendelssohn’s complete works for piano and orchestra with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, Bach’s Piano Concertos with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Bach’s six Partitas, for which he was awarded the prestigious Le Diapason d’Or. He has also recorded three newly completed piano suites by Girolamo Arrigo, and the complete piano works of Othmar Schoeck.
