Pianist Eliza Garth has achieved international distinction as a performer of contemporary music and the standard repertoire, through her recordings and her appearances in major cities in the U.S. and abroad. Well known for her adventurous programming, she has championed some of the most demanding works in the repertoire. One of her current adventures is “The Enchanted Piano,” a series of recitals that she created, developed, and performs. “The Enchanted Piano” is devoted to music for piano strings, piano with electronics, prepared piano, and amplified piano. Ms. Garth’s recordings of the complete piano works of the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Donald Martino have attracted national critical acclaim. The first of these, her debut solo CD, was the first-ever recording devoted entirely to Martino’s solo piano music. This CD was included in a New York Times survey of its own music critics’ favorite recordings of music written since 1945. After completing her studies at The Juilliard School, she made her New York recital debut the following year with an all-Alban Berg concert of solo and chamber works that included the Chamber Concerto For Piano, Violin, and Thirteen Wind Instruments, conducted by Harvey Sollberger. Since then, Ms. Garth has performed nearly two hundred new works, more than fifty of them premieres, including numerous works written for her. Most recent among these is Gradualia, a new piano concerto by the American composer Scott Wheeler.
