Stephen Hough

Tippet Rise Art Center

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.
