Originally
from Tennessee, Brendan White enjoys the diverse life of a
pianist in Los Angeles, where he combines his love of the traditional classical
piano repertoire with an avid interest in genre-bending modern and experimental
music. White studied with Alice Jackson in Tennessee before attending the
Eastman School of Music to study with Thomas Schumacher and then University of
Southern California with Kevin Fitz-Gerald, where he was awarded Outstanding
Master’s Graduate of the Thornton School of Music. He has performed as soloist
with the Jackson Symphony Orchestra, Eastman’s Musica Nova, and the Delta
Symphony Orchestra. As a devoted performer of new music, he has worked with
notable composers and conductors including Thomas Adès, Donald Crockett, Alan
Pierson, Steven Stucky and Jeffrey Milarsky. White is a member of the Mühlfeld
Clarinet Trio, winners of the Beverly Hills Auditions, which performs
traditional chamber music alongside brand new works for clarinet, cello and
piano. He collaborates regularly with the immersive theater group the Speakeasy
Society, whose shows often feature largely improvised music that evolves with
the narrative. In addition to playing piano, White can occasionally be spotted
as a secret organist, percussionist, or tenor.
