Piano Seminar: Julius Asal

New England Conservatory's Piano Department invites the public to join NEC students in exploring the challenges and complexities that pianists face in the world today, through presentations and master classes by guest artists and NEC faculty. This week's guest is Julius Asal. A laureate of numerous competitions, Asal is a regular guest at international festivals and prestigious concert halls, performing at venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall, the Vienna Musikverein, Laeiszhalle Hamburg and Suntory Hall in Tokyo. In recent years, his artistry has been significantly influenced by his mentors Eldar Nebolsin and Sir András Schiff, and he has also drawn inspiration from such musicians as Alfred Brendel, Gidon Kremer and Menahem Pressler.
