The Greater Princeton Steinway Society presents Clipper Erickson in concert. A passionate and colorful musician, Erickson made his debut as soloist with the Young Musicians Foundation Orchestra at age 19 in Los Angeles. After studies at Indiana University, The Juilliard School and Yale University, he began performing as soloist with orchestra and as a recitalist throughout the United States as well as receiving prizes at several international competitions including the Busoni, William Kapell and the American Pianists Association. Critics use words like “color,” “power” and “excitement” to describe his performances. Typical is the Washington Post: “Like a true heroic pianist, Erickson approached Liszt with power, precision and Romantic abandon … A take-no-prisoners rendition.”
Now living near Philadelphia, he is a roster member of Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour and continues to perform in recital and with orchestras throughout the United States. He teaches at Westminster Conservatory and Temple University where he is completing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree. His Steinway program is titled: “Fantasy and Enchantment: Music by Haydn, Schumann, Nathaniel Dett and Cyril Scott.”
Admission: $18/$10
