Jeffrey Grossman (piano)About
Though Barnard has composed music for many instrumental and ensemble combinations, music for the piano forms the core of his output. His style draws together diverse influences, including the traditional Romantic pianistic tradition represented by Chopin and Liszt, the colourist French impressionist tradition of Debussy and Ravel, the 20th century mysticism of Alan Hovhaness and, above all, the music and philosophy of Alexander Scriabin.
As an active pianist himself, Barnard has frequently appeared in concert throughout Europe, performing his own works for piano. His music for the instrument ranges from short pieces up to 'The Secret Tones of the Divine Spheres', a one-movement piano work of nearly three hours duration.
Besides piano music, he has written a chamber opera, four orchestral symphonies, concerti for cello, piano, and organ, and numerous chamber works.
Jeffrey Grossman’s extensive musical activities include continual performances as a pianist, harpsichordist and conductor. Acclaimed for his musicality in every style, he was recently praised as a “sensitive and fluent accompanist” of “flair and conviction” in Fanfare magazine.
A native of Detroit, Michigan, he holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Harvard College, where he conducted the Chamber Singers. He was also an inaugural member of the graduate degree program in historical performance at The Juilliard School. Jeffrey co-founded and currently serves as artistic director of the Cambridge Early Music Project and is the founding harpsichordist of New York early music ensemble Callisto Ascending.
