Timeline
Garrick Olaf Ohlsson (born April 3, 1948) is an American classical pianist.
In 1970 Ohlsson became the first, and remains the only, competitor from the United States to win the gold medal awarded by the International Chopin Piano Competition, at the VIII competition.
He also won first prize at the Busoni Competition in Bolzano, Italy and the Montreal Piano Competition in Canada.
Shortly after his Chopin competition victory in 1970, he appeared as performing guest on ABC's The Dick Cavett Show on 25 February 1971.
The show also featured actor/singer Sammy Davis Jr., and young Family Affair actress Anissa Jones.
In 1989, he recorded Busoni's five-movement Piano Concerto in C major, Op. 39 with the Cleveland Orchestra under Christoph von Dohnányi.
He has also recorded all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas for Bridge Records.
He was awarded the Avery Fisher Prize in 1994 and received the 1998 University Musical Society Distinguished Artist Award in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Since 1996 Garrick Ohlsson has lived in San Francisco with his husband, historic preservationist Robert Guter.
He is a member of the faculty of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
Ohlsson has recorded with the following labels:
In 2005–2006, he toured with the Takács Quartet.
He is also a founding member of San Francisco's FOG Trio, together with violinist Jorja Fleezanis and cellist Michael Grebanier.
In 2006–2007, he played the opening concert at the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York.
He has also performed at the BBC Proms with the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
Among his many recordings, Ohlsson performed Chopin's entire musical output on Hyperion Records–including the complete solo piano music, chamber music, works for piano and orchestra, and songs.
Ohlsson has also been nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning one in 2008.
He is also known for his exceptional keyboard stretch (a 12th in the left hand and an 11th in the right).
Ohlsson has performed in North America with symphony orchestras of Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Houston, Detroit, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Berkeley, among others, at the National Arts Center, with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and with the London Philharmonic at Lincoln Center in New York.
Ohlsson is an avid chamber musician, having collaborated with the Cleveland, Emerson, Takács and Tokyo string quartets, in addition to other ensembles.
In 2018, in Warsaw, Ohlsson received the Gloria Artis Medal for Merit to Culture, conferred by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
Born in Bronxville, New York as the only child of a Swedish father, Alvar Ohlsson, who emigrated from Sweden after World War II, and Sicilian-American mother, Paulyne (Rosta), born in New York City, Ohlsson grew up in White Plains, New York.
He began his piano studies at the age of eight with Tom Lishman, at the Westchester Conservatory of Music.
At the age of 13 he began studying with Sascha Gorodnitzki at the Juilliard School, and later with Rosina Lhévinne.
His musical development has been influenced in completely different ways by a succession of distinguished teachers, most notably Claudio Arrau, Olga Barabini and Irma Wolpe.
Although Ohlsson is especially noted for his performances of the works of Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt and Schubert, his range of repertoire is broad, extending from Bach and Busoni to Copland, Griffes, Debussy, Scriabin, Gershwin, Rachmaninov, and contemporary composers who have written new works for him, such as Justin Dello Joio.
Writing in The New York Times, music critic Allan Kozinn has characterized Ohlsson's repertory as "huge."
His repertoire includes no fewer than 80 concertos.
