Artist bio:
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 appeared twice at the National Gallery of Art and the Dumbarton Oaks
Foundation 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 Fierro studied piano with Lillian Steuber, Adele
Marcus and Joanna Graudan and musicology and conducting with composer Ingolf
Dahl, whose major piano works he has recorded on the Orion label. He
holds a Doctorate of Music “with Distinction” from the University of Southern
California.
