CARIBBEAN CROSSINGS / A New World Beyond Borders
Friday, August 3, 2007 at 6:30 p.m.
Hailed by The New York Times as “both a virtuoso with Herculean technical command and a sensitive introspective artist,” Jamaican pianist Paul Shaw has appeared on three continents, inspiring appreciative audiences and music critics alike in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
A top prize-winner in the 1988 William Kapell International Piano Competition and the 1986 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Dr. Shaw has performed to high critical acclaim at prestigious venues including the Lincoln Center in New York, the Kennedy Center, and Beethovenhalle in Bonn, Germany. He has appeared as a soloist with the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Cape Cod Symphony, the Dayton Philharmonic, the Richmond Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic, and the Shreveport Symphony. He has collaborated with conductors William Eddins, Lukas Foss, George Manahan, Jorge Mester, Royston Nash, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, and others. Dr. Shaw was educated at the Juilliard School of Music, where he received three degrees: Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and Doctor of Musical Arts.
