Biography
[edit]A pupil of Adolph Baller, Jerome Rose made his debut with the San Francisco Symphony at the age of 15. A Mannes College and Juilliard School of Music graduate, he also studied with Leonard Shure and Rudolf Serkin at the Marlboro Music School. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Vienna as well. He won the gold medal at the 1961 Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition.[1]
Rose began his international career while still in his early twenties. He has appeared with such orchestras as the Berlin Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony, and the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. A frequent visitor to London, he has appeared with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Philharmonic. In the United States, he has soloed with the Chicago Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Houston Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, and many others. Conductors include Sir Georg Solti, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Sir Charles Mackerras, Stanisław Skrowaczewski, Sergiu Comissiona, David Zinman, Hans Vonk, Robert Spano, and Christian Thielemann.
