Biography
David Korevaar
 David Korevaar's mastery of the piano is joined with a large and varied repertoire, and enhanced by his work with living composers and his own experience writing music. Since his Town Hall debut in 1985, he has performed at major venues in New York including Weill Hall, Alice Tully Hall, the 92nd Street Y, and Merkin Concert Hall. He has performed across the United States from Boston, New York and Washington, DC to Chicago, Cincinnati, Houston, Dallas and San Diego, and he plays frequently in his home state of Colorado with orchestras, in chamber ensembles and in solo recitals. He performs and teaches annually in Japan, and has performed in Europe, Australia, Korea, and Abu Dhabi. In March 2008, Korevaar spent two weeks performing and teaching in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan as a Cultural Envoy sponsored by the US State Department. His recordings have been met with fine reviews; the International Piano said "A triumph! David Korevaar has uncovered some truly wonderful music...all played with the greatest sensitivity and distinction, and the result is an exemplary recording that deserves a place in any serious collection." David Korevaar's interest in new music is reflected in his programming. In addition to his continuing association with the music of Lowell Liebermann, Korevaar has performed and recorded music by composers including Paul Schoenfield, Mike Barnett, Aaron Jay Kernis, George Rochberg, Aaron Copland, Ned Rorem, Stephen Jaffe, Scott Eyerly and Libby Larson. In 2007, Dr. Korevaar received the Provost's Faculty Achievement Award from the University of Colorado in honor of his work with the Ricardo Viñes Piano Music Collection at the university.
