“Stephenson is not just a remarkable virtuoso, but a poet, a dramatist, and a master storyteller”

Gramophone

Acclaimed young pianist Clayton Stephenson, finalist in the Van Cliburn International Competition and a Gilmore Young Artist Award winner – past winners include Yuja Wang – joins us in his 92NY debut. Accolades pour in for Stephenson’s artistry in performances marked by technical brilliance, an extraordinary sense of color, and a repertoire that ranges from core classical to jazz-influenced work. Hear him as his career takes flight.
