Sandra Shapiro, pianist and pedagogue, enjoys an active career as both performer and
teacher throughout the United States and Europe.
A versatile performer, Ms. Shapiro appears as a soloist in
both recital and with orchestra, as a chamber musician,
duo pianist and recording artist. She has received both
national and international awards and acclaim in each of
these areas, and her performances have been called
"compelling" and "brilliant".
This upcoming season, Ms. Shapiro will join violinist Ivan
Ženatý on tours that will include performances in the
United States, Europe, South Korea and Japan. Other
performances will include collaborations with Joan Kwuon,
Jaime Laredo, Sharon Robinson and Joel Smirnoff.
The daughter of Russian-Israeli immigrants, she began her studies at the age of three and a
half, and by age 11, was performing in recitals and as a soloist with orchestras. Because of
her prodigious talent, Ms. Shapiro left home at age 15 to study at the Juilliard School upon
the recommendation of her mentor, Gina Bachauer. Her teachers include Leon Fleisher, John
Perry, Nadia Reisenberg, and Guido Agosti.
As a member of the renowned duo-piano team of Hecht & Shapiro, Ms. Shapiro's laureates
include winning the Munich International Duo Piano Competition, the Ellis National Duo
Piano Competition, and top prizes in the Dranoff International Two Piano Competition, and
the International Jeunesses Musicales Competition.
Ms. Shapiro's performances have taken her throughout most major cities in the United
States, along with international performances in Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, Belgrade, Tel
Aviv, and Jerusalem. She has been featured in radio and television productions for RIAS
Berlin; Sudwestfunk Radio Production, Baden-Baden, Germany; PBS; WQXR, New York; NPR
McGraw-Hill Young Artist Showcase, Australian Broadcasting Commission, and numerous
performances over National Public Radio.
Ms. Shapiro has performed with many orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, New
York Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony, Chicago Civic Orchestra, Stuttgart Symphony,
Bavarian Radio Symphony, Belgrade String Orchestra, Brevard Festival Orchestra, Florida
Symphony, San Angelo Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Everett Symphony, New Mexico
Symphony, as well as Cleveland Orchestra appearances at both Severance Hall and the
Blossom Music Festival.
As a soloist, awards and prizes include First Prizes in the Young Musician's Foundation
National Debut Competition, and The World Piano Competition, as well as a prizewinner in
the Kosciuszko Foundation Chopin Competition. Other recognitions include the "Outstanding
Chamber Musician Award" from the University of Southern California, and the "Young
Maestro Award" from the Peabody Institute of Music. Her great love for chamber music has
led to collaborations with Truls Mork, Peter Rejto, Stanley Drucker, Mats Lidstrom, the
Cavani String Quartet, Franklin Cohen, and members of the New York Philharmonic on the
New York Philharmonic's Chamber Music Series.
Recordings include "Sentimiento" on the Azica label as well as collaboration with the
principal wind players of the New York Philharmonic in an album entitled "The Complete
Music of Robert Schumann for Winds and Piano".
Ms. Shapiro is a Steinway Artist.
