Markus Groh, Piano
Consistently cited for his astonishing power and "sound imagination", Markus Groh has confirmed his place among the finest pianists in the world today.  A spellbinding recitalist, Mr. Groh reveals shapes, textures and colors that one seldom hears in live performance. 

Mr. Groh has appeared with the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, Colorado, Detroit, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C., among others.  A frequent guest at international festivals such as Ruhr, Ludwigsburg, Bad Kissingen, and Schubertiade, Mr. Groh is the founder and artistic director of the Bebersee Festival near Berlin.  His awards include winning the Queen Elizabeth International Competition in 1995, as the first German to do so.
