the enchanted piano
Widely regarded as an artist with a passionate voice and an adventurous spirit, pianist ELIZA GARTH has championed some of the most demanding works in the repertoire. Among these are the complete solo piano works of the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Donald Martino, which she has recorded on two nationally acclaimed CDs for the Centaur label.
A graduate of the Juilliard School, Ms. Garth is a founding member of the Chamber Players of the League of Composers/ISCM in New York City, and is in frequent demand as a guest artist. She is a member of the music faculty at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.
She has been recognized twice by the Maryland State Arts Council with the Individual Artist Award, most recently in 2010 for her performance of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes.
Eliza Garth’s performance of Cage's Sonatas and Interludes at St. Mark's in-the-Bowery on September 21, 2024: a gorgeous autumn afternoon, a fine old Mason and Hamlin, and a very responsive audience. Many thanks to The Village Trip, the Roger Shapero Fund for Music, and St. Mark's for hosting the concert during The Village Trip's amazing annual Festival!
