about
Michael Habermann (born 1950 in Paris) is a pianist and professor at the Peabody Conservatory. His intense study of the music of English-Parsi composer Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji has resulted in five highly acclaimed world-premiére recordings. In 1979, Sorabji dedicated a 100-page piano work to him. The topic of his dissertation was Sorabji, with whose music he is internationally associated. Reviews describe his recordings in glowing terms. Habermann made his New York debut in 1977 to rave reviews and has since given numerous performances. His recitals have been heard on both the Voice of America and National Public Radio. His repertoire includes numerous works from all periods. He has given many premiéres of 20th-century works (Casella, Chavez, Fricker, Halffter, Leighton, Ponce, Rieti, Silvestre, Sorabji, Spier...) and was the soloist in the world premiére (1975) of Eugene Glickman’s Concerto for Piano and Percussion. He has recorded an album of piano music by the Portuguese composer Alexandre Rey Colaço and other recordings are available. Habermann now resides in the United States. He has lived in Canada (1957-62), Mexico (1962-72), and speaks fluent French and Spanish. His principal piano instructors have been Fernando Laires, Hilde Somer, and Carlos Vázquez.
