ABOUT PHILIPPE ENTREMONT Entremont, one of the most recorded artists of all time, has performed as a pianist on five continents in practically every musical center, and he frequently appears in the dual role of pianist and conductor.
He is especially acclaimed for his interpretation of the classical and early twentieth-century repertoire. He was among the ten world-class pianists chosen to perform in the “Piano Extravaganza of the Century” at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. To honor his 75th birthday, the Kravis Center commissioned Richard Danielpour to write Souvenirs, musical portraits of five cities that have played major roles in Entremont’s career; the work was premiered by the Vienna Chamber Orchestra in 2009 with the composer conducting. The Symphonia’s performance marks the first time Entremont will conduct the work in this area.
