Kevin Korth

As an in-demand recitalist and coach, pianist Kevin Korth has collaborated with such legendary artists as Isabel Leonard, Jake Heggie, Nadine Sierra, Frederica von Stade, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Sasha Cooke, Davóne Tines, John Holiday, and Deborah Voigt. Praised by Gramophone for playing that is “superb”, and “full of color and character,” his debut album, Out of the Shadows, a recording of American art song with soprano Lisa Delan and cellist Matt Haimovitz on the Pentatone Classics label was warmly received. As an avid interpreter of contemporary work, the album features premieres by Jack Perla and David Garner, in addition to previously unrecorded works by Norman Dello Joio and John Kander. Last fall brought the release of his newest album for the Pentatone Label, a collection of chamber music by composer David Conte. Other recent recordings include an album of Brahms, Mussorgsky, and Schubert songs with baritone Lester Lynch for Pentatone, and an album of Robinson Jeffers settings by composer Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli with mezzo-soprano Buffy Baggott for the Delos label. A frequent recital artist for Festival Napa Valley, other recent performances include a concert appearance at Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, a concert for Marilyn Horne’s 90th birthday celebration, and a collaboration with jazz legend Dee Dee Bridgewater. Mr. Korth currently holds a position on the vocal coaching faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
