Stephen Gosling

Pianist Stephen Gosling enjoys a varied career as soloist and chamber musician, with a particular focus on the music of our time. He is currently a member of the New York New Music Ensemble, Ensemble Sospeso, Columbia Sinfonietta, American Modern Ensemble, and Ne(x)tworks. He is additionally a frequent guest artist of many other groups, including the New York Philharmonic, Orpheus, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Bang on a Can, American Composers Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Speculum Musicae, and Absolute Ensemble. His work has garnered consistent critical acclaim, and he was profiled by The New York Times in October 2005.

Mr. Gosling earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at The Juilliard School, during which time he was awarded the Mennin Prize and the Sony Elevated Standards Fellowship. He was also featured as concerto soloist in works by Stravinsky, Schnittke, Schoenfield, and Corigliano (the latter conducted by Leonard Slatkin).

Mr. Gosling has collaborated with a number of American composers, among them John Adams, Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter, Steve Reich, Roger Reynolds, Charles Wuorinen, and John Zorn, as well as several European composers, including Pierre Boulez, James Dillon, Brian Ferneyhough, Oliver Knussen, Helmut Lachenmann, Poul Ruders, and Mark-Anthony Turnage.

Recent highlights include the world premiere of John Psathas’s Three Psalms with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, solo programs ranging from works by Alexander Tcherepnin and his students at Weill Recital Hall to music for piano and electronics (a recital awarded by the International Society for Contemporary Music), and performances of Xenakis and Ligeti with Shen Wei Dance Arts at the Barbican Center in London. Upcoming projects include a joint recital with jazz pianist Anthony Coleman at Merkin Hall; a performance in Miller Theater’s Stravinsky festival—a program of the composer’s duo piano music with Eric Huebner; and various programs of the chamber music of Elliott Carter to celebrate the composer’s centennial. In ever-increasing demand both as soloist and chamber musician, Mr. Gosling has performed throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and made over 30 recordings to date.
