An Evening of Epic Proportions

TAMU-CC Performing Arts Center

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.  As the Los Angeles Times put it “Krieger owns a world of technique-take that for granted.  He always knows exactly where he is going and what he is doing.  He never for an instant miscalculates.  He communicates urgently but with strict control.  He is alert to every manner of nuance and at every dynamic level his tone flatters the ear.”
