Pianist Misha Dichter, now performing in the sixth decade of a distinguished international career, remains one of America’s most popular artists, extending a musical heritage from the Russian Romantic School and the German Classical style. At the age of 20, while enrolled at The Juilliard School in New York City, he won the Silver Medal at the 1966 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, which helped launch an enviable concert career. Later, he made his New York Philharmonic debut under the baton of Leonard Bernstein. Appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw Orchestra, the principal London orchestras, and every major American orchestra soon followed. He makes his Isabel debut with works by Brahms, Schubert, Debussy, and Liszt.
