A native of Los Angeles, Norman Krieger is one of the most acclaimed pianists of his generation and is highly regarded as an artist of depth, sensitivity and virtuosic flair. In fall 2016 he joined the faculty of the distinguished Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Currently in town as a special guest of the Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation, Mr. Krieger is known for his master classes, storytelling, and remarkable skill as a musician.

Mr. Krieger regularly appears with the major orchestras of North America, among them the New York, Los Angeles, Rochester Philharmonics, the Minnesota Orchestra, Boston Pops Orchestra, as well as Mexico’s Orquesta Filarmónica de la Ciudad de México and Orquesta Sinfónica de Xalapa.

Tonight he performs Beethoven's "Tempest," chatting with Steve about the great masters, Rex the German Shepherd, and not sweating the small stuff. Special thanks to the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition and Joanne Rowland for helping arrange this performance.
