Featuring
Duane Hulbert, piano
Duane Hulbert is a Grammy-nominated pianist and has appeared as soloist with many major orchestras in the United States, including the Minnesota, Dallas, and North Carolina symphonies and the Rochester Philharmonic.
Dr. Hulbert won the Gold Medal at the 1980 Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition and was a prize winner in the 1981 Leeds Competition and the 1985 Carnegie Hall International American Music Competition. He received his BA and MM from The Julliard School of Music and his DMA from The Manhattan School of Music.
In 2002 his recording of the piano works of late-romantic Russian composer Alexander Glazunov was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Solo Instrumental Recording. He released the four-volume set of the complete piano works of Glazunov in 2014. With his wife, Judy Carlson Hulbert, he has written several orchestral works for children as well as five musicals.
Dr. Hulbert retired after 30 years as Professor and Head of the Piano Department at the University of Puget Sound in 2016. Forever passionate about music education, Hulbert created a YouTube channel in 2019, LEARN AND LOVE MUSIC, which gives tips, techniques and insights into classical music.
