“De la Salle played so well that, for much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe...the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard and everyone could finally come up for air.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Through her acclaimed international concert appearances and her award-winning Naïve recordings, Lise de la Salle has established a reputation as one of today's most exciting young artists and as a musician of uncommon sensibility and maturity. Her playing inspired a Washington Post critic to write, “For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe... the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard.”
Ms. de la Salle’s 2021-2022 North American season includes return visits to the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival (Kalamazoo, MI) and People’s Symphony Concerts (New York, NY). Her 2022-2023 season will see her returning to the Aspen Music Festival, Music Toronto, and San Francisco Performances in recital and to the Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, and Atlanta Symphonies among others. Highlights abroad include her concerto debut at the Paris Philharmonie and orchestral performances in Berlin, Tokyo, Sao Paolo, and on tour with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
