Benjamin Grosvenor, piano

Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is truly “one in a million” (The Independent). He first achieved prominence in 2004 as the youngest-ever winner of the keyboard section of the BBC’s Young Musician of the Year Competition at age 11. Now a storied performer of international acclaim, he has taken his place as one of today’s most exceptional musicians, whose virtuosic interpretations are underpinned by a unique balance of technical mastery and intense musicality. At his Santa Fe performance debut, Benjamin Grosvenor will perform gorgeous selections from Liszt and Chopin.

Benjamin Grosvenor is presented through the support of JS Charitable Trust.
