Janice Weber is a summa cum laude graduate of the Eastman School of Music. Following graduation she was twice a fellowship student at Tanglewood. She has appeared with the American Composers Orchestra, Boston Pops, Chautauqua Symphony, New Hampshire Symphony, Sarajevo Philharmonic, and Syracuse Symphony. Critics have hailed her “power and poetry” (New York Times) and “superfluid mastery” (San Francisco Chronicle) at solo performances including the White House, Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, Weill Hall, National Gallery of Art, Boston’s Symphony Hall, and the 92nd Street Y. She has toured Yugoslavia, Turkey, and the Baltic States under the auspices of the US Information Service and has toured China at the invitation of the American Liszt Society. Her eclectic recordings include the complete transcriptions of Rachmaninoff (IMP); with the Lydian Quartet, Leo Ornstein’s vast Piano Quintet (New World Records); waltz transcriptions of Godowsky, Rosenthal, and Friedman (IMP); the world premiere recording of Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes in the notoriously difficult 1838 version (IMP); solo piano music of Leo Ornstein (Naxos), and Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time (Ongaku Records). A member of the Boston Conservatory faculty, Miss Weber has recently completed her sixth novel. She produced the sample tones for Ivory, the worldwide bestselling virtual piano software.
