Andrew Willis, Pianoforte

Andrew Willis performs in the US and abroad on pianos of every period.  He recorded the “Hammerklavier” sonata and several other Beethoven sonatas in the first complete recording of the cycle on period instruments, a project directed by Malcolm Bilson and presented in concert in New York, Holland, and Italy.  Other recordings include Schubert lieder with soprano Julianne Baird and a recital of 20th-century American piano music, including Martin Amlin’s Sonata No. 7, composed for Willis.  A past president of the Southeastern Historical Keyboard Society, Andrew Willis holds degrees from Curtis, Temple, and Cornell and is on the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he directs the biennial Focus on Piano Literature.
