In the more than 40 years he has been performing on the concert stage, American pianist Murray Perahia has become one of the most sought-after and cherished pianists of our time, performing in all of the major international music centers and with every leading orchestra. He is the Principal Guest Conductor of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, with whom he has toured as conductor and pianist throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Born in New York, Mr. Perahia started playing piano at the age of four and later attended Mannes College where he majored in conducting and composition. His summers were spent at the Marlboro Festival, where he collaborated with such musicians as Rudolf Serkin, Pablo Casals, and the members of the Budapest String Quartet. During this time, he also studied with Mieczysław Horszowski. In subsequent years, he developed a close friendship with Vladimir Horowitz, whose perspective and personality were an enduring inspiration. In 1972, Mr. Perahia won the Leeds International Piano Competition, and in 1973 he gave his first concert at the Aldeburgh Festival, where he worked closely with Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, accompanying the latter in many lieder recitals. Mr. Perahia was co-artistic director of the Festival from 1981 to 1989.

Mr. Perahia begins the 2015-2016 season in London and Japan, performing Mozart and Beethoven with the London Symphony Orchestra under Bernard Haitink. Later in the fall, he undertakes a Beethoven project with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, play-conducting all five piano concertos. His spring 2016 tour of North America includes performances with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Bernard Haitink and recitals in Portland; Stanford and Berkeley, CA; Seattle; La Jolla; Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall; Durham, NC; North Bethesda, MD; Montreal; and New York's Lincoln Center.

Mr. Perahia has a wide and varied discography. Sony Classical has issued a special boxed set edition of all his recordings including several DVDs entitled The First 40 Years. His recording of Brahms Handel Variations, which won a Grammy Award in 2011, was described as "one of the most rewarding Brahms recitals currently available." Some of his previous solo recordings feature a 5-CD boxed set of his Chopin recordings, Bach's Partitas Nos. 1, 5, and 6 and Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, opp. 14, 26, and 28. He is the recipient of two Grammy Awards for his recordings of Chopin's complete Etudes and Bach's English Suites Nos. 1, 3, and 6, and several Gramophone Awards including the Inaugural Piano Award in 2012.

Recently, Mr. Perahia embarked on an ambitious project to edit the complete Beethoven Sonatas for the Henle Urtext Edition. He also produced and edited numerous hours of recordings of recently-discovered master classes by the legendary pianist Alfred Cortot, which resulted in the highly acclaimed Sony CD release Alfred Cortot: The Master Classes.

Mr. Perahia is an honourary fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, and he holds honourary doctorates from the Juilliard School, Oxford University, the Royal College of Music, Leeds University, and Duke University. In 2004, he was awarded an honourary KBE by Her Majesty The Queen, in recognition of his outstanding service to music.
