Martin Perry is an American pianist who, while well-versed in many genres, has established himself as a specialist in modernist music. Raised in Sacramento, California,
Perry studied piano with Patricia Taylor Lee,
Thomas Schumacher, and Adele Marcus (a pupil of Russian pianist
Josef Lhévinne), and attended the University of Maryland and Juilliard. Following a debut recital at Carnegie Hall,
Perry toured the United States. He has performed with the
Boston Pops, the Portland Symphony Orchestra, the Arkansas Symphony, the Florida Philharmonic, the Baltic Philharmonic, and the
Moscow Philharmonic. He has performed chamber music with the
Cassatt Quartet and the
DaPonte Quartet and is a member of the
Nordica Trio. His wide repertoire includes early Romantic works by
Mendelssohn,
Chopin, and
Schumann, which he performs on fortepiano, and he devotes much of his time promoting the 20th century works of
Charles Ives,
Alan Hovhaness, and Charles Tomlinson Griffes. He has recorded solo piano music for Bridge, and writes a blog on music, Con Spirito.
