Talent Biography
Hyperion Knight is a pianist with a romantic touch whose recordings range from Beethoven to the Beatles and Ragtime to Rachmaninoff.
In addition to regular appearances with orchestras across the United States, Hyperion has been a headline performer at Manhattan’s Rainbow Room and Entertainer of the Year for Silversea Cruises. A Gershwin enthusiast, his performance of Rhapsody In Blue was featured in the Public Television special Hyperion Plays Piano Classics. And his film series The History of Classical Music celebrates music through the ages.
Hyperion was born in Berkeley, California, graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory at age 19, and by the age of 22 had received both a Master’s and Doctoral degree. He then studied at the Juilliard School in New York where he now resides.
“Not since Heifetz has anyone played Gershwin solos with this much panache… the songs glitter like jewels against black satin.” - American Record Guide
