"Pearly touch, singing tone and sensitivity.... [Pohjonen] demonstrated his elegant musicianship throughout the program." —New York Times

Awarded the 2009 Klavier Festival Ruhr Scholarship by Sir András Schiff, Juho Pohjonen is a pianist of international renown in Europe, Asia, and North America. His growing repertoire showcases an array of Scandinavian music as well as works of composers from his home country of Finland, including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Kaija Saariaho, and Jean Sibelius. As a soloist, Pohjonen has performed on stages across the world, with ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Danish National Symphony, Finnish Radio Symphony, and Helsinki Philharmonic orchestras, and the Philharmonia Orchestra of London. This season continues Pohjonen’s long-standing relationship with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center with two performances at Alice Tully Hall, and also sees engagements with the Colorado Symphony and Minnesota Orchestra.
