UW Music presents acclaimed pianist Dr. Kara Huber in a special recital featuring the complete solo piano works of Pulitzer Prize and multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning American composer Joan Tower. The recital, entitled “From Twelve-Tone Crowd to Risk-Taker,” offers a chronological journey through Tower~s repertoire, highlighting her progression from a rigorous serialist to a composer with a more accessible and colorful voice. The performance will trace Tower~s compositional arc, from her early twelve-tone pieces influenced by composers like Stravinsky to her more lyrical and rhythmically-charged later works. The program will feature major multi-movement pieces such as “No Longer Very Clear” and deeply personal miniatures like “Love Letter,” a recent work dedicated to Tower~s late husband. Huber~s insightful interpretations of Tower’s work have earned high praise from critics and the composer herself. A long-time champion of Tower’s music, Huber recently released a critically-acclaimed album of the same works. GRAMMY®-nominated Canadian-American pianist and conductor Kara Huber is quickly establishing herself as a celebrated member of the new class of concert pianists. Hailed as “absolutely dazzling…in a word, flawless” (New York Concert Review) in her Carnegie Hall debut, Huber combines the polish and warmth of an old-school soloist with the charisma and flair of the new generation of piano virtuosi. Huber has performed across North America, Europe, and Australia, including solo appearances at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Piano Virtuoso Series at the Canadian Opera Company, the Rising Stars Piano Series in Southampton, New York, and Steinway Series at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. An in-demand recitalist, she seeks to excite and delight diverse audiences through creative and engaging programming. On the orchestral stage, Huber has performed with the Louisville Orchestra, San Juan Symphony, Oakville Symphony, Scarborough Philharmonic, and York Symphony Orchestra. She has worked under the baton of renowned conductors Charles Dutoit, Gerard Schwarz, Teddy Abrams, Thomas Heuser and Denis Mastromonaco, in addition to conducting and performing with the Canadian Chamber Orchestra. Huber has received numerous prizes and awards, including the Audience Favorite Award in the Cincinnati World Piano Competition. She received training from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music with Frank Weinstock and Awadagin Pratt, and at The Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory of Music with John Perry and Leon Fleisher. She holds a DMA in piano and conducting from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and previously taught at the University of Louisville School of Music. Huber currently serves as the Marjorie Wood Drackett Chair of Piano at the Interlochen Arts Academy.
