ABOUT THE ARTIST
Research Professor of Piano, Dr. Ian Hobson, is recognized internationally for his command of an extraordinarily comprehensive repertoire, his consummate performances of the Romantic masters, his deft and idiomatic readings of neglected piano music old and new, and his assured conducting from both the piano and the podium. A lauded performer, Hobson is also a dedicated scholar and educator who has pioneered renewed interest in the music of such lesser-known masters as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Hummel.
As guest soloist, Hobson has appeared with many of the world’s major orchestras, including The Philadelphia Orchestra and the symphony orchestras of Chicago, Baltimore, Houston, Indianapolis and St. Louis; abroad, he has been heard with Great Britain’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The London Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish National Orchestra, ORF-Vienna, Orchester der Beethovenhalle, Moscow Chopin Orchestra, Israeli Sinfonietta and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
One of the youngest ever graduates of the Royal Academy of Music, Hobson received a B.A. from Cambridge, and M.M. (piano, organ, and harpsichord) and D.M.A. (piano and conducting) from the Yale School of Music.
Unless otherwise noted, all events are free admission and open to the public. Please see http://www.music.fsu.edu/Concerts-and-Events for information about the College of Music venues.
