From performing the New York City debut of a recently discovered work of Debussy to performing the complete Mozart piano sonatas during the composer’s 250th anniversary year, pianist Gary Stegall is widely regarded as an artist of great emotional warmth tempered by a probing intellect. Highly renowned as both solo and chamber pianist with performances throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa, Dr. Stegall will make his first solo tour of Latin America in 2008.

He has previously appeared as guest artist with the dePasquale String Quartet of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Formerly resident pianist for the South Carolina Chamber Orchestra Soloists, he is presently resident pianist for the Beau Geste Trio (flute, cello, piano) with appearances at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, USA.

During his studies in Brussels as a Rotary International Scholar, Dr. Stegall discovered the music of Joseph Jongen and has since introduced this Belgian Impressionist to many audiences by way of his performances and compact disc recording (Klavier/Kalmus KCD #11032 - Solo Piano Music of Joseph Jongen). This recording, which has received acclaim for the beauty of both the music and the performances, includes the world premiere recording of Jongen’s Suite en forme de sonate.

Dr. Stegall is presently associate professor of piano at Coastal Carolina University of Conway, South Carolina.
