Pianist Jonathan Biss launched his career in the late 1990s with appearances as a soloist with the Baltimore Symphony and several other prominent national ensembles. While he has generally favored standard-repertory works, he has ventured into contemporary works with compositions by John Corigliano, Leon Kirchner, and others. Biss was born on September 18, 1980, in Bloomington, Indiana. He comes from a distinguished family of string players: his grandmother was Raya Garbousova, the cellist who inspired Samuel Barber to compose his Cello Concerto, his mother is the well-known violinist Miriam Fried, and his father is violinist/violist Paul Biss. Young Jonathan took his first piano lessons at the age of 6 from teacher Karen Taylor. At age 11, he began studies at Indiana University with Evelyne Brancart, and then three years later, won the concerto competitions held by the Indianapolis and Bloomington Symphony Orchestras, two ensembles with whom Biss then appeared in performances of the Mendelssohn G minor Piano Concerto.
