Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth concludes the 2009–2010 season with an afternoon concert featuring Alessio Bax on piano.

First Prize winner in the universally acknowledged Leeds International Pianoforte Competition in 2000, Alessio Bax has established himself as an accomplished performer throughout the world. Prior to Leeds, he won various competitions including, at the age of 19, the First Prize at the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan. Praised by the international press, his performances have been described as “real music-making that makes its own world on stage and invites the audience in as guests” (The Independent), and “successfully combining authority and poetry” (Daily Telegraph).

Mr. Bax’s extensive concerto repertoire has led to appearances with over 70 orchestras throughout the world. In 1994, he moved to Dallas to further his studies with Mr. Achúcarro at the Meadows School of the Arts, where he is now on the teaching faculty. He joins Lincoln Center’s Chamber Music Society Two (CMS Two) residency program for outstanding young artists for three seasons beginning in 2009-10.
