Hailed by England's Musical Times for his "dazzlingly prodigious technique",
Haskell Small first came to public attention after winning the Pittsburgh
Concert Society auditions at the age of 21.

A recipient of a solo recitalist grant from the National Endowment for
the Arts and a semifinalist in the Johann Sebastian Bach International
Piano Competition, Mr. Small's concerts throughout the United States,
including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, National Gallery of Art, the
Kennedy Center, and the Spoleto Festival have won him an enthusiastic
following. Mr. Small was featured in the PBS television special A
Celebration of the Piano, taped at Wolf Trap. In recent seasons, Mr.
Small has made several tours of Japan and performed recitals in Paris
and London.

Following in the tradition of 18th and 19th century pianist/composers,
Haskell Small is also an accomplished composer, who often performs his
own works. He has received commissions from such organizations as the
Washington Performing Arts Society, Three Rivers Piano Competition,
Georgetown Symphony and Paul Hill Chorale, and he was the winner of the
1999 Marin Ballet Dance Score Competition.

Following Small's premiere performance, Tim Page of The Washington Post
lauded the composer's Symphony for Solo Piano as a serious and substantial
composition that deserves a permanent place in the keyboard repertory."
The composer's recording of Symphony for Solo Piano has also received
wonderful reviews, including from Records International at
