“Perahia’s extraordinary pianism is a sacrament of purification and a kind of return to an age of pianistic innocence.”

– Los Angeles Times

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 centres 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. He has a wide and varied discography, and is the recipient of two Grammy Awards and multiple Gramophone Awards, including the inaugural Piano Award in 2012.

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