One of Southern California's leading pianists, CHARLES FIERRO has made concert tours
for the National Endowment for the Arts and the California Arts Council and has
given more than 25 concerto performances with orchestras. He has

in Washington, D.C. In 1976 he played the American Bicentennial Recital
at the Palace of Fontainebleau in France on the personal invitation of the
legendary musician, Nadia Boulanger. He has interpreted the music of
Beethoven, Schumann, Schoenberg and Liszt at the Ojai Festivals and performed more
than a dozen times at the prestigious Monday Evening Concerts in Los Angeles,
presenting the American premieres of important new works.
His debut for Nonesuch Records was named
“Critics’ Choice” for five consecutive months by High Fidelity Magazine. His
recording of the piano music of Aaron Copland was made under the auspices of
the composer himself. For Delos International, he has recorded
MacDowell's Sonata Eroica and Twelve Virtuoso
Etudes. For Nonesuch, he has recorded MacDowell's Keltic
Sonata, Sea Pieces, and Woodland Sketches and
the world premiere recording of MacDowell's First Modern Suite.
Current repertoire includes the major works of
Aaron Copland; Hindemith's complete Ludus Tonalis and Three
Piano Sonatas; the Debussy Preludes Book 1 and the
major chamber works of Guillaume Lekeu.
As Professor of Music at California State
University Northridge, he received the Distinguished Teaching
Award. An experienced adjudicator, he is known for his inspiring
master classes in all aspects of the piano repertory. He has
lectured at the New England Conservatory (Boston) and the Colburn Conservatory
(Los Angeles) and taught at the Image International Music Festival. He serves
on the Advisory Board of the Paderewski Music Society. He is also
the author of numerous published articles on musical subjects, as well as
chamber music reviews which have appeared in the international press.
Charles
