Eric Guo

Eric Guo appeared in Raleigh already two years ago, after our Artistic Director, Adam Wibrowski, had discovered him in various venues, when he was still only 19 years old. He was that year to play only one concert with us; when another pianist had to cancel, he-on the spur of the moment-agreed to play a second concert. He's that good. And also prepared. His current teachers are John Perry and James Anagnoson at The Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory in Toronto, Canada. He has also studied with John O'Connor at same Conservatory. He is ready to study at any moment, at any place, at any time. In place of a more formal rendering of his biography and given that he is play two concerts in Raleigh this year, I append excerpts of an Associated Press article written by Monika ?cis?owska and filed from Warsaw on March 6, 2024, barely six months ago. Note, once again, that playing two concerts in short order has become almost a normal event for him.
