The pianist Neil Galanter began his musical studies at the age of seven. He gave his first recital at the age of nine, and made his debut at twelve with Orchestra. He has since gone on to play many recitals and concerts throughout the USA, Mexico, Canada and Europe including appearances at Centenary Hall in Leeds, Salle Cortot in Paris, McCain Hall in Dublin, Ulster Hall in Belfast, the Sydney Opera House and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
He plays the music of many major Spanish, English, French and Belgian composers: Albeniz, Absil, Bax, Bliss, Blancafort, Granados, De Falla, Poot, Turina, Mompou and Montsalvatge among others. Senor Montsalvatge himself has lauded Mr. Galanter's interpretations of Spanish Music and invited Mr. Galanter recently to Spain to meet him and his wife after the composer heard Mr. Galanter's interpretations of his works on his newly released CD of all Spanish Music. William Blezard of the UK wrote a piano work especially for Mr. Galanter during his 2002 Australian Tour
