A “daring pianist” praised for his “adventurousness and muscular skill” (The New York Times), GRAMMY-nominated artist Adam Tendler has become one of classical music’s most recognized and celebrated artists, receiving Lincoln Center’s Emerging Artist Award, the Yvar Mikhashoff Prize, and appearing as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra, LA Phil, Sydney Symphony, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, NJ Symphony, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, as well as on the main-stages of Carnegie Hall, the Barbican Centre, Sydney Opera House, BAM, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Milan Fashion Week, and other leading series and stages worldwide. As a recording artist, Tendler is featured on Wild Up’s GRAMMY-nominated third volume of Julius Eastman’s music. He has also released albums of music by Franz Liszt, Robert Palmer, and of his own original work. He recently commissioned and recorded Inheritances, a program of 16 new pieces using the entire inheritance left to him by his father after his unexpected death. Tendler’s 2024 immersive installation, Exit Strategy, as Green-Wood Cemetery’s artist in residence, received national attention and engaged hundreds of contributing community members. He is the author of two books, a Yamaha Artist, and serves on the piano faculty at NYU.
