Pianist David Hughes has performed at the Kennedy Center, Amsterdam’s Muziekgebouw and the Spanish Embassy in Washington, DC. He has been featured on Philadelphia’s WRTI radio station in an hour-long segment of solo repertoire. Other engagements include a solo recital of American works at the USA Foundation of the Cité Universitaire in Paris, works for multiple pianos with the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey, and he can also be heard playing four different keyboard instruments on John Zorn’s violin concerto, “Contes de Fées,” on the Tzadik label. He is a founding member of Arcana New Music Ensemble, a Philadelphia-based collective dedicated to presenting concerts of modern and lesser-known music. Mr. Hughes has a strong interest in contemporary music and received third prize in the Gaudeamus Interpreters Competition—one of the world’s premier competitions for modern music—as a member of Outer Banks Duo with saxophonist Stacy Wilson. This was followed by the release of their debut CD, L’Incandescence. He is also a past recipient of a fellowship to the Tanglewood Music Center and a prizewinner in the MTNA National Chamber Music Competition. He holds a doctoral degree in piano performance from Indiana University.
