 About the Artist 
Canadian-born Joel Hastings was the winner of the 2006 8th
International Web Concert Hall Competition and the 1993 International Bach
Competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. After delivering a
stunning performance at the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano
Competition in Fort Worth, Texas, one reporter designated Hastings the
"audience favorite" while another declared, "the kinetic fingers of this young
Canadian reminded me strongly of his late countryman, Glenn Gould." In a
Newsweek review he "pulled the audience to their feet after a wild
performance of Franz Liszt's Totentanz." Reviewers have described his
playing as passionate, mesmerizing, hypnotic, and transcendental.
A Steinway Artist, Hastings has performed solo recitals across Canada
and the United States, while his orchestral engagements have included the
Toronto Philharmonic; the Detroit, Ann Arbor, Oakville, Okanagan,
Windsor, Kamloops, Niagara, Racine, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and the
University of Michigan Symphonies and Symphony Band; the KitchenerWaterloo and Michigan Chamber Orchestras; the Huntsville Festival
Orchestra and the Ann Arbor Concert Band. Recently, he performed at the
American Liszt Society National Festival and at the Niagara International
Chamber Music Festival. Acclaimed American composer Carter Pann has
written a new piano cycle dedicated to him that he will be premiering this
year.
His discography includes Franz Liszt's song and operatic transcriptions,
Frederic Chopin's 24 Etudes, and selections of works by Prokofiev,
Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, and Scriabin. His latest CD, Songs and Dances,
includes works by Grieg and Respighi with transcriptions of music by Bach,
Schubert, Wagner and Gershwin. His recordings have been selected for
Canadian critic's awards and featured on CBC national radio as well
numerous stations throughout the United States.
Hastings earned his ARCT diplomas in piano and organ from the Royal
Conservatory of Music, receiving a gold medal for the highest score in the
country. He holds a doctorate in piano and a degree in organ from the
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His teachers have included Nina
Lelchuk, Louis Nagel, Logan Skelton, Sergei Babayan and Robert Glasgow.
As a student at the University of Michigan, he won the school's concerto
competition three consecutive times. Across North America and abroad, he
has given masterclasses and adjudicated competitions, and has taught piano
performance at the University of Windsor and Eastern Michigan University.
Currently he is an assistant professor of piano at Florida State University in
Tallahassee.
