IMOGEN COOPER

Sunday, March 4 – 3:00 p.m. | Sundin Music Hall

London-born Imogen Cooper studied at the Paris Conservatoire and in Vienna, where Alfred Brendel became one of her most important mentors. She enjoys a widespread international career, both as recitalist and collaborative musician and was publicly honored in 2007 with a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for her services to music. Her lieder work with baritone Wolfgang Holzmair has been called "one of the greatest living partnerships in song." Cooper has played with all the major British orchestras and is currently involved in a long-term project with the Northern Sinfonia playing and directing Mozart Concerti. She has recorded over 15 stand-alone albums as well as a six-volume set of Schubert, her ‘signature’ composer. Cooper’s first appearance with the Chopin Society was an all-Schubert recital in 2008 that quickly sold out.

"...the qualities that make Cooper quite simply one of the finest pianists this country has produced make her perfect for Mozart duty."
