Described as “one of the finest pianists of his generation…a consummate musician” by Fanfare, Clipper Erickson has dedicated much of his long career to bringing new works to life as an enthusiastic musical explorer. Erickson made his debut at age 19 in Los Angeles as soloist with the Young Musicians Foundation Orchestra, followed by studies at The Juilliard School, Yale University, and Indiana University. While at Indiana, Clipper trained with the great British pianist John Ogdon, whose dedication to the performance of new music and lesser-known works of the past inspired Clipper to follow in his footsteps. His artistry continues to win international critical acclaim through recordings and performances as soloist in major concert halls including the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, and Carnegie Hall. Erickson’s release on Navona Records, My Cup Runneth Over – The Complete Piano Works of R. Nathaniel Dett, was honored by Gramophone UK in 2016 as a critic’s choice and best album of the year while writing: “this historically and musically important release not only fills a crucial catalogue gap but sets reference standards. No serious aficionado of the history of American piano music can afford to miss it.” It continues to be featured on radio worldwide and streamed extensively.
