An exceptional pianist with an original and probing mind who takes no note for granted.” (Los Angeles Times)

Hélène Grimaud is a deeply passionate and committed musical artist with multiple talents that extend far beyond the instrument she plays with such poetic expression and peerless technical control. A committed wildlife conservationist, she is also a compassionate human rights activist and a writer; but it is through her thoughtful and tenderly expressive music-making that she most deeply touches the emotions of audiences. After her UMS debut in 2015 as featured soloist with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, she was due to return in March 2020 for her UMS recital debut. Four years later, we look forward to bringing her back to the Hill Auditorium stage at last.
