Esteemed pianist Leon Fleisher returns to Blair by popular demand for three evenings of performance with the Vanderbilt Orchestra in which he will conduct Brahms' 4th Symphony, an open rehearsal with the Blair String Quartet and a solo piano recital by Mrs. Jacobson Fleisher. 

Pianist and conductor Leon Fleisher accepted the 2007 Kennedy Center Honor at a star-studded gala in Washington DC, where Caroline Kennedy recognized him as “a piano prodigy from the Golden Gate who rose to the heights, embraced adversity and became a musician for all seasons.” A year of celebratory performances in 2008-2009 commemorating Leon Fleisher’s 80th birthday coincided with the resurgence of his early recordings on Sony Masterworks – regarded as some of the greatest in classical music – among them the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos, which were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame the same year. Fleisher enthralled capacity audiences with performances in New York, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco and internationally in London, Brussels, Lucerne, Singapore, Tokyo, Vancouver and Toronto, re-affirming his place among the legendary pianists and musicians of our time.
