ELAN SICROFF
PIANO, MARCH 18
Pianist Elan Sicroff has specialized in
the music of Thomas de Hartmann
since the early 1970s. From 1975 to
1979 he worked with Mme. Olga de
Hartmann, widow of the composer,
and gave numerous performances
of de Hartmann’s music under her
auspices.
In 2006, Elan was invited by guitarist
Robert Fripp (King Crimson) to
spearhead the Thomas de Hartmann
Project, which aims to bring de Hartmann’s music back to the
listening audience. In 2010, Elan and Gert-Jan Blom embarked on
a five-year project to record a large portion of de Hartmann’s music.
The seven-CD box set entitled The Thomas de Hartmann Project:
Music for Piano, Voice and Chamber Ensemble was recently re-
released by Nimbus Alliance (UK). The music has drawn widespread
critical acclaim. Elan has since given many performances and
lecture recitals throughout the U.S. and Europe to build awareness
of de Hartmann’s music and the ideas that inform it, as well as his
fascinating life story.
In September 2021 Elan performed and recorded de Hartmann’s
colorful and exciting Piano Concerto Op. 61 with the Lviv National
Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine, under the baton of Tianhui Ng.
Orchestral Music of Thomas de Hartmann was released in 2022 on
Nimbus Records.
