Guest Artist Recital: Ryan Fogg, piano

ABOUT RYAN FOGG

The playing of pianist RYAN FOGG has been described as “brilliant, with a high level of polish, impressive technical command, musical understanding and sensitivity.”  Over the past several years, he has performed over 100 solo recitals in 24 states, and he recently made his Carnegie Hall debut at Weill Recital Hall.  

In addition to being an active solo recitalist, he is an avid chamber musician, collaborative pianist, and concerto soloist.  His orchestral debut occurred while performing Stravinsky’s Concerto for Piano and Winds with the Knoxville Wind Symphony at the historic Tennessee Theatre.  In 2011, he released a CD recording through Albany Records entitled “The Fogg Project,” featuring new works by American composers.  A subsequent review of the recording by Fanfare Magazine described Fogg as “an excellent pianist, drawing an impressive range of sounds out of his instrument.”  

Originally from Houston, Texas, Dr. Fogg holds degrees in piano performance from The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Houston, and East Texas Baptist University.  His major teachers include Gregory Allen, Danielle Martin, Robert Brownlee, Randall Sulton, and Annette Chan. He pursued additional studies at the Aspen Music Festival and the Adamant Music School.
