About the Artist

Menahem Pressler was born in Magdeburg, Germany. He received most of his early musical training in Israel. His international concert career began when he won first prize in the Debussy Piano Competition in San Francisco in 1946. He made his North American concerto debut shortly thereafter with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Eugene Ormandy.

In 1955, Mr. Pressler co-founded the Beaux Arts Trio, which has become one of the world's most enduring and widely acclaimed chamber music ensembles. The Beaux Arts recordings for Philips, which include almost all of the piano trio literature, have won many coveted honors and awards

Mr. Pressler appears regularly in recital. Recently, he has performed on Carnegie Hall's Great Performers series, at Jordan Hall in Boston, at the Ravinia Festival, and in Toronto, St. Louis, and Los Angeles.

Since 1955, Mr. Pressler has been on the piano faculty of Indiana University, where he holds the position of Distinguished Professor of Music.
