One of the most distinctive artists of his generation and a longtime CAMA favorite, Sir Stephen Hough is a true Renaissance man, combining a distinguished international career as a pianist with those of composer, writer, and painter. Named by The Economist as one of “Twenty Living Polymaths” (a person of great learning and varied expertise), he was knighted in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2022 and was the first classical performer to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (“Genius Grant”) in 2001. Sir Stephen brings his trademark eloquence and precision to what will be his fifth Masterseries recital appearance at the Lobero, with music by composers close to his heart. From the mysterious and mystical realms of Mompou and Scriabin to the evocative imagery of Debussy and Hough’s own Partita, Hough leaves his stamp on all of this repertoire. His recital closes with a suite of pieces selected from the second volume of Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage—the famous “Petrarch Sonnets” as well as the astounding “Dante Sonata.”

Musical America recently marveled at Stephen Hough’s “tightly fashioned programs…melodic jewels that twinkle and shine with a multi-faceted brilliance.” His astonishing career can be traced over three decades of satisfying SF Performances recitals witnessing his thoughtful selection of music, emotional resonance, and a style full of joy and wit.

The 2023 concert season kicks off with a piano recital by the incomparable Sir Stephen Hough, who we are privileged to welcome back to Tippet Rise for the third time. Regarded as one of the most important and distinctive artists of his generation, Hough’s career also encompasses those of composer and writer. Named by The Economist as one of Twenty Living Polymaths, Hough was the first classical performer to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (2001). In 2014 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and was knighted in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2022. This year, Hough will perform compositions by Federico Mompou, Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, as well as one of his own compositions – Partita.

A MacArthur Fellowship “genius grant” honoree, British pianist Stephen Hough “is a profound thinker as well as a mercurial performer” (The Times). “Few living pianists manage to combine open-hearted virtuosity with so tangible and unaffected a sense of an inner world beyond the notes” (The Arts Desk).
