THOMAS SCHULTZ has established a reputation both as an interpreter of music from the classical tradition - particularly Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert - and as a champion of 20th century music. His recent solo appearances have included a recital devoted to the music of John Cage (1992), an all-Rzewski recital (1994), a recording of works by Rzewski and Hyo-shin Na for Belgian Radio in Brussels, and a program pairing Bach’s Goldberg Variations with recent works by Korean, Japanese and American composers performed in New York and San Francisco (1997-98). His programs have also featured works by Schoenberg, Webern, Eisler, Boulez, Sockhausen, Wolff, Feldman, Takahashi, Schnittke, Ustvolskaya, Boudewijn Buckinx and Walter Zimmermann. Mr. Schultz has worked closely with such eminent composers as Cage, Feldman, Wolff, Rzewski, Earle Brown and Elliott Carter (in performances of the Double Concerto at the Colorado Music Festival and at Alice Tully Hall in New York) and is also active as a chamber musician. He is pianist with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players and has performed with the Da Camera Society of Houston and Robert Craft’s 20th Century Classics Ensemble. His recording of Stravinsky’s Concerto for Two Solo Pianos is on the MusicMasters label, and he can be heard in chamber works of Earle Brown on a newly-released Newport Classics recording. Mr. Schultz’s musical studies were with Philip Lillestol, John Perry and Leonard Stein. He is a member of the piano faculty at Stanford University.
