Eric Zuber

Hailed as an "irresistibly fluid" and "illuminating" pianist by the New York Times and the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dr. Eric Zuber has established himself as one of the leading American pianists of his generation. His recent debut album, The Young Chopin, featuring a collaboration with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, has received critical acclaim, with Gramophone magazine praising his "comprehensive technical command... and bravura approach which is never garish or manipulative with careful voicing and subtle gradations of color."

During a period of just a few years, Dr. Zuber was a recipient of major prizes from twelve of the world's most prestigious international piano competitions including Arthur Rubinstein, Cleveland, Seoul, Sydney, Dublin, Hastings, Honens, and the Piano-e-Competition, and was named a Laureate of the American Piano Awards. He was also a Gold Medalist in both the Hilton Head and Böesendorfer International PianoCompetitions. For these and many other remarkable achievements, he was given the Arthur Rubinstein Prize by The Juilliard School.

Dr. Zuber has made solo appearances at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Severance Hall and for the International Keyboard Institute and Festival in New York City. After making his orchestral debut at the age of twelve with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, he has gone on to perform with many of the major orchestras in the United States and abroad including Cleveland, Israel, Indianapolis, Minnesota, Phoenix, Sydney, RTE National, and the Royal Philharmonic. His collaborations with internationally acclaimed artists include performances with Lewis Kaplan, Paul Huang, Amir Eldan, Charlie Neidich, Joseph Silverstein, Gerard Schwartz, Johannes Moser, and Amanda Roocroft.

In addition to a busy solo and collaborative career, Dr. Zuber is dedicated to helping the next generation of aspiring young artists. He is currently serving as Assistant Professor of Piano at the Michigan State University School of Music. Eric holds degrees from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, the Curtis Institute of Music, and the Juilliard School, where he studied with Boris Slutsky, Leon Fleisher, Claude Franck, and Robert McDonald.
