Ian Hobson, pianist and conductor, 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. In addition to being a lauded performer, Mr. Hobson is a dedicated scholar and educator who has pioneered renewed interest in the music of such lesser known masters as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Hummel. He has also been an effective advocate of works written expressly for him by a number of today’s noted composers, including Benjamin Lees, John Gardner, David Liptak, Alan Ridout and Yehudi Wyner.

biography

As part of his 2015-2016 season, Ian Hobson embarks on an ambitious six-concert series in New York City: Preludes, Etudes, and Variations – Downtown/Uptown presents outstanding examples of each genre by Chopin, Fauré, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Debussy and Szymanowski. The series also expands the genres by presenting world premieres by Yehudi Wyner (Preludes), Robert Chumbley (Etudes) and Stephen Taylor (Variations). Presented in New York City’s downtown SubCulture and uptown Merkin Concert Hall between October 2015 and April 2016, the series follows Mr. Hobson’s acclaimed 14-recital 2013-2014 New York series of the complete solo piano works and chamber music with piano of Johannes Brahms, Johannes Brahms: Classical inclinations in a Romantic Age. Reviewing the first installment of the series, The New York Times praised his “careful attention to dynamics which added a lovely spatial dimension to the Andante” [of the Piano Sonata No. 1] and lauded his “fine ear for color” in the Scherzo in E-flat minor.

Ian Hobson also continues his concerts as music director of the Sinfonia da Camera, a professional chamber orchestra affiliated with the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and College of Fine and Applied Arts of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where Mr. Hobson is the Swanlund Emeritus Professor of Music. Further recital and teaching engagements this season take Mr. Hobson throughout the United States and several times to South Korea, where he is a professor at the National University of Seoul.
