Praised by The Cleveland Classical Review for his “astonishingly confident technique”
and The New York Times for “thrilling [and] triumphant” performances, pianist Henry
Kramer is developing a reputation as a musician of rare sensitivity who combines
stylish programming with insightful and exuberant interpretations. In 2016, he
garnered international recognition with a Second Prize win in the Queen Elisabeth
Competition in Brussels. In 2019, he was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant by
Lincoln Center – one of the most coveted honors bestowed on young American soloists.

A versatile performer, Kramer has performed with international orchestras including
the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra, Belgian National Orchestra, Shanghai Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Hartford and Indianapolis
Symphony Orchestras, among many others. He has also performed “stunning” solo
recitals at venues ranging from Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Toronto’s Koerner Hall,
and at Alice Tully Hall as the recipient of the Juilliard School’s William Petschek
Award. Kramer regularly performs at premiere summer festivals including La Jolla
Summerfest and the Anchorage, Lakes Area, Mainly Mozart, Mostly Mozart, Rockport,
