Ogunquit’s favorite Randall Hodgkinson, leader of Boston Chamber Music, turns his attention to solo repertoire in a beautiful program of Bach, Berg and Chopin.

Renowned classical pianist, Randall Hodgkinson, returns to Ogunquit as a piano soloist, having performed in Ogunquit multiple times with the late Bruce Coppock and the Boston Chamber Music Society’s Piano Quartet.

“The finest performance I have ever heard of this very difficult piece. It was as if he was reading my mind…” Aaron Copland on hearing pianist Randall Hodgkinson performing his Piano Fantasy in Jordan Hall, Boston.

Randy achieved recognition as the Grand Prize winner of the International American Music competition, sponsored by Carnegie Hall and the Rockefeller Foundation, winner in the JS Bach International Competition, and as the recipient of the Tanglewood Music Center’s prestigious Cabot Award. His solo orchestral performances include appearances with the Atlanta Symphony, the Philadelphia, the Boston Symphony, and Cleveland Orchestras, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the New York Symphony. He has also performed at numerous well regarded chamber music festivals, including but not limited to: Blue Hill (Maine), Chestnut Hill (Connecticut), Seattle (Washington) and Santa Fe (New Mexico).

As both of Randy’s parents were musicians, Randy began his musical career at a very young age, with his mother as his first teacher. “Discovered” at a music festival at age 15 he was encouraged to apply for admission to the New England Conservatory of music, where he earned a BA, MM and AD. His musical repertoire spans from JS Bach to Donald Marino, and he recently performed the world premiere of the piano concerto of composer Gardener Read at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. He regularly performs the four hand and two piano repertoire with his talented spouse, Leslie Amper.

He currently serves on the faculties of the New England Conservatory, the Longy School of Music at Bard College in Cambridge, MA, and Wellesley College.
