Grammy award-nominated pianist Duane Hulbert will perform Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra on Monday evening.
The concerto is possibly the most popular and best loved piano concerto of all time.
The CSO program also includes Dvorak’s “Carnival Overture,” Boaz Avni’s gentle “Largo for Strings” and the tone poem “Death and Transfiguration” by Richard Strauss.
Hulbert has performed with orchestras around the country, including the Minnesota Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Tacoma Symphony and Seattle Symphony. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School and his doctorate from the Manhattan School of Music.
He was the first-prize winner of the 1980 Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition and won awards in the 1981 Leeds Competition in England and the 1985 Carnegie Hall International American Music Competition.
He has appeared as a recitalist at the Merkin Hall in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and at Benaroya Hall in Seattle.
A Minnesota native, Hulbert teaches at the University of Puget Sound.
His first CD was nominated for a Grammy award in 2002. In October 2014, he released a four-CD set of “Glazunov: The Complete Works.”
