STEVEN SILVERMAN, a native of Washington D.C., has performed extensively as a pianist in solo, chamber, and concerto appearances throughout the United States, and as a harpsichordist at the Amherst Baroque Academy, Longy Baroque Institute, Boston Early Music Festival, and at Washington D.C.'s Corcoran and Phillips Galleries and Grace Church Bach Festival.

The New York Times called Mr. Silverman's New York debut "a splendid affair...his playing had dimension, atmosphere, energy and discipline -- wedded to a sense of rhythm that would not quit." The Washington Post called his playing "nothing short of electrifying. His incredible musicianship and sheer technical wizardry made themselves clear".

Mr. Silverman is co-artistic director of the chamber ensemble ArcoVoce. The group may be unique in performing on both period and modern instruments, and including vocal chamber music as an integral element of its programs. Now in its tenth season, ArcoVoce will release its first commercial Compact Disc by the end of 2004.

Mr. Silverman holds the Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the University of Michigan. His teachers include Eugene Bossart, Charles Crowder, Arthur Haas, Ann Schein, and the great Polish pianist Andrejz Wasowski.
