Constantine Finehouse

Pianist Constantine Finehouse has had a successful career featuring appearances in the U.S., Russia, and western Europe. He has championed the keyboard music and chamber music of composer William Bolcom. Finehouse was born in St. Petersburg, then Leningrad in the Soviet Union. He moved to the U.S. when he was 13 and enjoyed a top-flight musical education at the New England Conservatory, the Juilliard School in New York, and Yale University. His teachers include Boris Berman, Bruce Brubaker, Natalia Harlap, Jerome Lowenthal, Herbert Stessin, and Fredrik Wanger. Finehouse's career was helped along by the Vladimir Horowitz Scholarship from Juilliard, a 2004 St. Botolph Club Foundation Grant, and a 2006 Classics Abroad Project Award. Staying on in the U.S., Finehouse has performed in many U.S. states as well as maintaining ties in Eastern Europe (he has appeared in St. Petersburg and Odessa, Ukraine) and appearing in London and Lausanne, France. Finehouse is an enthusiastic chamber music player with several regular partners, including cellist Sebastian Baverstam (with whom he has appeared at Carnegie Hall) and violinist Philip Ficsor; with the latter, he sometimes performs as American Double, and the duo toured Hungary. In 2009, Finehouse released the album Backwards Glance on the Spice Rack label, featuring music of Brahms and contemporary composer Richard Beaudoin. He later backed violinist Daniel Kurganov on the album Rhythm & the Borrowed Past. Finehouse has served on the faculty of the New England Conservatory Preparatory and Extension Divisions in Boston and as Visiting Artist/Faculty at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. He has emerged as a specialist in the music of Bolcom, performing and recording both Bolcom's solo piano music and chamber music. In 2017, Finehouse inaugurated a planned series of releases covering Bolcom's complete solo piano music on Naxos, and in 2021, he returned on that label, joining Ficsor and hornist Steven Gross for a recording of Bolcom's Trio for horn, violin, and piano.
