Details:
"I think Doug Montgomery is one of the finest and most entertaining pianists I have ever heard!" -ARNOLD PALMER

"In the celebrated Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin, the triumph was for American pianist Doug Montgomery. His natural feeling, idiomatic sound, and fluency in jazz were purely expressed on an impeccably classical base. His way of playing the piano is undeniably American, rich in vitality and loose. A pianist who is brilliant and appealing in many ways, Montgomery has successfully married two diverse musical cultures; American and European." -IL LAVORO, GENOA, ITALY

"Doug Montgomery's playing possesses a seductive variety of touches and colors.
He enraptures us with his interpretation." -LE SOIR, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM

"Doug Montgomery plays with compelling intensity, sensitivity and energy."
-EL NACIONAL, CARACAS, VENEZUELA

"Doug Montgomery is a gifted musician who is equally at home performing Chopin or singing great show tunes. The wondrous part is that he does both with great style, verve and talent."
-MICHAEL FEINSTEIN

"You will certainly see his name again." -EL FIGARO, PARIS, FRANCE



For the past fifteen years, music lovers around the world have agreed with the Chicago Sun Times, who stated "There is only one Doug Montgomery." His unforgettable live performances and his versatile recordings reveal the vast talent of this world-class musician.

A native Chicagoan, Montgomery began attending Northwestern University's pre-college music program when he was only 15. His passion for classical music prompted Montgomery to pursue his Bachelor's degree from Northwestern and then his Master's degree from the famed Juilliard School in New York City. Upon receiving his Master's, he was awarded the prestigious Joseph Lhevinne Scholarship in piano and returned to teach at Juilliard for a year. Soon he attracted national attention as a top prize winner in the renowned Robert Casadesus Piano Competition. He also won first prize in the Musical Arts Competition in Chicago.

During his career as a solo performer, he has given hundreds of recitals throughout the world. He has appeared with the Orchestra of Santa Fe, Victoria Symphony Orchestra, The New Jersey Symphony, Kansas City Philharmonic, Youngstown Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Chamber Orchestra, The Grant Park Symphony Orchestra of Chicago, Valley opera Orchestra of California and toured with the Burgundian Ensemble of New York City, and the Orquesta Synfonia of Venezuela. Montgomery's appearances include the Festival of Arts in Jyvaskula, Finland, and the Menton International Forum for Music in France. He was selected to represent the United States in the "1492-1992 Columbus Festival" in Genoa, Italy
