Pianist Larry Graham to perform free concert at Boulder Library

Prominent Pianist Larry Graham, along with Anhared Stowe on violin, will perform in a free library concert at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 1, in the Main Boulder Public Library’s Canyon Theater, 1000 Canyon Blvd. 

Graham was trained at the Juilliard School in New York City.  He won two important international competitions in the 1970s:  the top American in the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels in 1975 and the Artur Rubinstein Competition in Tel-Aviv in 1977, which is the most prestigious of all the international piano competitions. In Brussels, he won the coveted “Prize of the Public” by an overwhelming vote of the audience. A recording contract with Decca records followed, as did numerous return engagements.

For 11 years, Graham was the pianist for the Pablo Casals Trio, a highly acclaimed ensemble. He was the subject of a PBS documentary film, and, in 1986, won first prize in The McMahan International Music Competition, a premiere event for pianists over the age of 25. In addition to his musical life, Larry Graham is an avid runner and rock climber. He is on the piano faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
