A CRITICALLY acclaimed young pianist, Reed Tetzloff, will give an afternoon recital, The Romantic Piano, at St John’s Church, Tisbury, on Saturday 13th December at 3.30pm. The concert is raising funds for the church.

Tetzloff came to international attention ten years ago at the XV Tchaikovsky Competition, where he was dubbed “the lyric hero of the competition.”

He is a regular performer at large venues around the world – the Tisbury concert will be a rather more intimate affair, an opportunity for local music-lovers to enjoy South Bank quality piano playing and meet and chat with the soloist.

Reed Tetzloff, described by fellow pianist Richard Goode as “a musician of great authority,” was praised by one reviewer for his “richly communicative” performances, and has been delighting audiences worldwide since making his Lincoln Center (New York) concerto debut in 2012.

He has appeared in major European venues, including the Berlin Philharmonie, the Allerheiligen Hofkirche at the Munich Residenz, Prague’s Rudolfinum, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Place Flagey in Brussels, the Théâtre d’Angoulême, and De Singel in Antwerp.

His solo recitals in the United States have been heard from coast to coast. He has performed at many music festivals and in major venues in China and South Korea, and has collaborated as a chamber musician with many ensembles.

His list of recordings is already impressive, including the start of a complete Beethoven concerto cycle, which is due to be issued as a box set before the Beethoven anniversary in 2027. In December 2025, his recording of the Schumann and Grieg piano concertos with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, will be released.

Born in Minneapolis, Reed Tetzloff studied there with Dr Paul Wirth and went on to take bachelor’s and master’s degrees in New York. He has won prizes in several international piano competitions.

There is no advance booking for the Tisbury concert – entry will be on the door.
