He also performed a twenty state recital tour, as well as collaborated with the Sarasota Ballet's production of Ricardo Graziano's "Valsinhas", based on Franz Schubert's "34 Valses Sentimentales"---all six highly acclaimed performances were sold out. During last season, Thomas gave a highly successful recital at The Honest Brook Festival in New York, and also appeared with The National Men's Chorus for their 19th Anniversary Concert at The Terrace Theatre, Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Additionally he performed a Chopin birthday concert for the Polish American Arts Assocation, and returned for a highly acclaimed recital at The Frederick Collection's Historical Instrument Collection (MA) for a recital featuring an 1877 Erard. Back by popular demand, he will return this summer (2018) to The Sembrich Museum (NY) in a dazzling program of Debussy, Mompou, Gounod/Liszt, Tchaikovsky/Pabst, and Bernstein/Pandolfi, as well as the Garrett Lakes Arts Festival (MD) for an evening of his own virtuoso transcriptions on the music of Burt Bacharach and Barry Manilow. Thomas has collaborated with numerous noted conductors, including Piotr Gajewski, Dimitru Goia, Sabin Pautza, Emil Seigbert Maxim, Peter Schmelzer, Mihail Agafita, Grigori Moseico, David Russell Hulme, Andreas Delfs, Elizabeth Schulze, Miriam Burns, Sebrina Alfonso, Nicholas Palmer, William Intrilligator, Kim Allen Kluge, Raffaele Ponti, Lawrence Eckerling, Ray Fowler, Glenn Quader, Scott Wood, Daniel Boothe, Robert Hart Baker, Crafton Beck, Lawrence Rapchak, and Gordon Johnson. His international concerts and tours have carried him across the globe to China and Europe, as well as a Canadian debut in British Columbia. An outstanding cross-over artist, Thomas Pandolfi's virtuoso transcriptions of the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Leonard Bernstein, Marvin Hamlisch, Burt Bacharach and Barry Manilow are in much demand. In 2006, he released his first CD, and since then has recorded ten additional ones, including "Language of Infinity" (Chopin), "Gypsy Passages" (Liszt), "Into the Night with Gershwin", and the Paderewski Piano Concerto recorded in the Czech Republic with The Moravian Philharmonic. Thomas enjoys working with new composers, and he has in particular championed the "Pops" Concerti of British composer, Simon Proctor, including The James Bond Concerto, in which Thomas gave the world premier performance in London during the 2010-11 season. He is scheduled to perform the world premier of Bohemian Concerto by British-Argentine composer, Polo Piatti, during the 2019-20 Season. Thomas co-commissioned film and concert composers Kim Allen Kluge and Kathryn Vassar Kluge to compose The American Piano Concerto, which was an absolutely smashing success at its world premiere in May, 2016; a recording of this work is scheduled to be released soon. A graduate of The Juilliard School, Thomas earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees as a scholarship student. At the moment, he is based in the Washington, DC area, and is the proud father of a wonderful son and daughter.[1] |
