Garrick Ohlsson is recognised worldwide as a musician of magisterial interpretive and technical prowess. Since winning the Chopin International Piano Competition in 1970 – the first and only American to do so – he has built a career that spans over six decades, performing with the world’s leading orchestras and in the most prestigious concert halls.
A student of the late Claudio Arrau, Garrick Ohlsson has an extensive recording catalogue. Amongst his many award-winning CDs, his ten-disc set of the complete Beethoven Sonatas met with huge critical acclaim, receiving a Grammy award for Vol. 3. Garrick Ohlsson makes his second appearance in Parbold this evening, having played here in 2021. We are delighted that he makes a return appearance in 2026. A virtuosic piano player, his recitals are staggering for their show of technical genius. He brings a spirit of intimacy and connection to every performance.
“… By almost any measure, Ohlsson is one of the great American pianists” – The Washington Post
