Hailed by the Baltimore Sun as an artist whose “achingly sweet touch at the keyboard will ... make audiences weep,” pianist Elizabeth Morgan has received wide critical acclaim for the sensitivity and imagination of her performances. She recently graduated with her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in piano performance from The Juilliard School, where she studied with Robert McDonald and Yoheved Kaplinksy. Other pianists with whom she has worked include Walter Ponce, Rosalyn Tureck, Emmanuel Ax, Gary Graffman, Ursula Oppens, Claude Frank, and Joseph Kalichstein.

Praised by the New York Times as “excellent”!, Ms. Morgan has performed as soloist in many major New York venues, including Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, Society Hall, the Kociusko Foundation, and the New York Library for the Performing Arts. She has given solo performances at the Mendelssohn-Saal of the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, and with orchestras on both coasts, including the Oakland East-Bay Symphony and the Fremont Symphony, and she has performed with the Mark Morris Dance Company. Ms. Morgan has appeared at numerous festivals including Tanglewood, Amelia Island, Aspen, Bowdoin, Pianofest, Festival of the Hamptons, and Rock Hotel International Pianofest, where she gave the world premiere of VAI!, by Pulitzer Prize winning composer Paul Moravec. Her performances have been broadcast on National German Radio, WQXR New York, and KDFC San Francisco.

In 2003, Ms. Morgan appeared on National Public Television as one of five featured students in an American Master’s Emmy Award winning documentary about Juilliard, which included excerpts of her performances of The Goldberg Variations and Chopin’s Second Ballade.

Ms. Morgan was teaching assistant to David Dubal at The Juilliard School and radio host of Tuesday Morning Classical on WKCR, 89.9 FM, New York, for two years. She is currently pursuing a PhD in historical musicology and a DMA in piano performance at the University of California, Los Angeles, the first student in the history of the university to pursue doctorates simultaneously in both the Musicology and Music departments.
