Adam Jackson Piano Recital on Sunday, May 21, at 4:00 p.m.
Round Hill will welcome star pianist Adam Jackson in recital. Adam, now 13 years old, was born in the UK to a Polish mother and a Welsh father and began his piano studies at the age of seven when his family moved from Dubai to the United States. He is the student of renowned pianist Ms. Benita Meshulam.
In 2013, Adam won the Leschetizky Association Gifted Youth Competition in New York. While still only ten years old, he won the first Hoff-Barthelson Music School/Westchester Symphony student concerto competition and played the first movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 with the Symphony of Westchester. In March 2014, he played the third movement of the same concerto in a master class with David Dubal, the noted American pianist, broadcaster, and Juilliard School professor. When he was eleven, Adam won the under 16 piano competition at the National Eisteddfod of Walesb and was a runner-up in the Blue Riband.
In 2015 Adam’s accomplishments increased in number, frequency, and amplitude. He participated in a master class with renowned pianist Ilana Vered; performed at the Leschetizky Association’s Living Artists Recital; performed the whole of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with orchestra at the Siletz Bay Music Festival, Oregon; performed at Jocelyn Freeman’s invitation in her piano recital at the Newport Music Society, Wales; performed at the Theodor Leschetizky memorial tribute concert in New York City; played the first movement of Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto with the New York Chamber Players Orchestra in New York City; made an appearance at the Mezzrow Jazz Club, New York City; and performed Scarlatti at the New York Youth Players Concert.
In 2016 Adam again won the Leschetizky Association Gifted Youth Competition, performing the first movement of Haydn’s Piano Sonata 49 in E-flat major. He also participated in Hoff-Barthelson Music School’s “Festivals in Style,” and he was invited to perform music by Haydn and Liszt at the donor’s reception of the HBMS Annual Benefit Concert. In April, Adam appeared in a New York City master class with the American pianist Alan Weiss, Professor of Music at both the Lemmensinstituut in Leuven, Belgium, and the Utrecht Conservatory, Netherlands. That same month, he reached the finals of the Adelphi Orchestra Concerto Competition in New York. Adam returned to Siletz Bay the summer of 2016 where he not only performed Mozart’s 23rd Piano Concerto with the Festival Orchestra, but also gave a solo recital. Later that summer, he appeared in another recital at the Fishguard International Music Festival in Wales.
In 2017 Adam has already performed in recitals across the tri-state area as part of the Drozdoff Society’s Impromptu series and appeared in a recital at Steinway Hall, performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.1 with piano accompaniment.
We look forward to welcoming Adam and being inspired by his gifted music-making!
