Biegel is one of today’s most respected artists, having created a multi-faceted career as a pianist, recording artist, composer and arranger. His electrifying technique and mesmerizing touch has received critical acclaim worldwide. In 1985, Leonard Bernstein said of pianist Jeffrey Biegel: “He played fantastic Liszt. He is a splendid musician and a brilliant performer.”
Biegel studied at the Juilliard School with the legendary artist/teacher Adele Marcus and made his New York orchestral debut performing Prokofiev’s Concerto no. 2 in g minor with the Juilliard Philharmonia in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. He is currently on the piano faculty at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music at Brooklyn College, a City University of New York (CUNY).
