The mission of the Peabody Piano Department is to guide and inspire promising young musicians toward professional careers as global ambassadors for their art.
The Piano Department at the Conservatory has a long tradition of excellence dating back to the days of Arthur Friedheim, who was a student of Franz Liszt, through the 60-year teaching tenure of the eminent Leon Fleisher, and to today’s roster of renowned artist-faculty. Throughout its history, many luminaries have trained our students to become artists as well as fine pianists. We are a faculty of diverse backgrounds and training but are all deeply committed to the development and wellbeing of our students. In addition to passing along our tradition of excellence, we take seriously the responsibility to prepare our students for a wide range of possible futures, which may include teaching at all levels and the performance of traditional and new music, both as solo and collaborative artists. We will also ensure that they develop the ability to communicate with a variety of audiences and the entrepreneurial and technology skills necessary to find their place as 21st century musicians.
Peabody’s Piano Department attracts the finest young talent from the nation and the world. Our piano students have won major prizes in such international competitions as the Busoni, Van Cliburn, Hamamatsu, Kapell, Marguerite Long, Montreal, Munich, Naumburg, New Orleans, American Pianists Association, Queen Elisabeth, Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, International Chopin, Young Concert Artists, Sendai, Dublin, Hilton Head, San Jose International and San Marino International.
Peabody graduates enjoy global concert careers and many combine performing with teaching at prestigious conservatories, colleges, and universities in this country and abroad.
