Praised for performances that are “all that could be desired, and more,” Massachusetts-born pianist Justin Bartlett has performed in the United States, South America, and France, striving to reach new audiences and to champion fresh repertoire. His solo performances have been featured at Portland Piano International’s Rising Stars Series, where he delivered the world premiere of Michael Johanson’s Eternal Gardens and gave lecture recitals on the music of Szymanowski. He has performed concertos of Bach and Liszt with members of the Oregon Symphony, and his chamber partners have included violinists Alex Kerr and Yehonatan Berick. Outreach programs are also central to his musical work: As a student in Oberlin Conservatory Justin was sent to Ecuador as guest artist and faculty at the Franz Liszt Conservatory of Quito, and he has organized local recitals in Indiana with the proceeds being donated to public school music programs. He earned a B.M. degree at Oberlin Conservatory, where he was granted the Dean’s Talent Scholarship, under the guidance of Robert Shannon. He earned a Doctor of Music in Piano Performance degree with Arnaldo Cohen at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he received a Jacobs Fellowship, the school’s highest academic award. He also benefited greatly from studies with Elisabeth Wright, Émile Naoumoff, and Menahem Pressler. Among his other musical passions have been conducting and harpsichord. Bartlett is adjunct lecturer in piano performance at the Jacobs School, where he also teaches music theory for the String Academy. Beyond music, he nurtured a love of modern ballet as a member of the Oberlin Dance Company.
