Robert Taub, an internationally acclaimed leader in the new generation of virtuoso pianists, will perform at Sacramento State on March 17 at 8 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall. The performance will showcase his New Millennium concert series, highlighting his world-renowned Beethoven piano sonatas.

Taub?s repertoire embraces music from the Baroque era to the present day, and he has been chosen by contemporary American composers to present premiere performances of their music. The musician has recorded the complete Beethoven sonatas for Vox Music Group. He has also recorded the sonatas of historically famous pianists including Sciabin for Harmonia Mundi, Schumann, Liszt and Babbitt.

Taub has performed with the San Francisco Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Singapore Symphony and many other premier orchestras. He has also appeared in the Great Performers series at Lincoln Center, and has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

He became the first musician appointed as Artist-in-Residence at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton where he was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate.

While completing his doctoral degree at the Julliard School, he received the highest award in piano.

His long-standing precedence over the piano world has earned his work praise as a “critic?s favorite,” by Newsweek magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Gramophone, Ovation and Fanfare magazines.
