Praised for his formidable technique and wonderful wit, pianist Eric Himy has been compared by the 2007 Revue Musicale de Suisse Romande to that of the legendary pianist, Vladimir Horowitz. In concert, Mr. Himy has garnered critical acclaim for his interpretations of French, Spanish, Romantic and Gershwin compositions.

A Juilliard graduate, Mr. Himy began piano studies at age six, giving his first concert at age 10. He was guest soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at age 15, and at 19 he made his National Symphony Orchestra debut under Hugh Wolf, going on to win numerous competitions and awards, including the Gold Medal at the 1988 World Piano Competition in Cincinnati, the Kosciuszko Chopin Prize in New York, and top honors in the 1991 Milosz Magin International Competition in Paris.
