Meet The Artists
Russell Sherman
Distinguished Artist-in-Residence, New England Conservatory of Music

As a Distinguished Artist-in-Residence at New England Conservatory of Music, pianist Russell Sherman offers his insights to students through master classes, performance seminars, studio classes, and coaching.

Sherman's studies with Edward Steuermann place him in the grand Busoni/Liszt tradition, and Franz Liszt is one of the core repertoire composers with whom he is associated as a teacher and as a concert and recording artist. In 2008 Sherman released a DVD of Liszt’s
Transcendental Etudes that captured a live performance from New York’s Angel Orensanz Center for the Arts.

Sherman is the first American to record both Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas and the five piano concertos. His GM release
The Beethoven Piano Concertos: Live at Monadnock features the all-star Monadnock Festival Orchestra.

Russell Sherman made his debut at Town Hall at age 15 and has been acclaimed as a soloist with many major orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. He has presented recitals throughout the U.S., Europe, South America, and the former Soviet Union.

Sherman's 1996 book of short essays on piano playing and allied activities,
Piano Pieces, is perennially in print in the U.S. and has been published in Korean translation.

B.A., Columbia College (N.Y.). Piano with Edward Steuermann; composition with Erich Itor Kahn. Recordings on Advent, Sine Qua Non, Vanguard, Pro Arte, Albany, GM.
