“Stephenson is not just a remarkable virtuoso, but a poet, a dramatist and a master story-teller.” – Gramophone

Finalist in the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and 2022 Gilmore Young Artist Awardee Clayton Stephenson brings an innate musicality and exuberance to his Hayes Piano Series debut at the Terrace Theater. At age 10 he advanced to Juilliard’s elite Pre-College program, and he now studies in the Harvard-New England Conservatory Dual Degree Program, pursuing a bachelor’s in economics and a master’s degree in piano performance. Stephenson’s captivating artistry will be on full display in a recital program spanning works by Schubert, Stravinski, Gershwin, and more.
