Spring 2005 will see recitals at Paris’s Châtelet and Antwerp’s De Singel, as well as an extensive U.S. tour with Dawn Upshaw, with nearly a dozen dates on the West Coast and Eastern Seaboard.
The 2004-2005 season will also see two significant additions to Goode’s extensive discography, both on Nonesuch: a collection of Mozart sonatas and short pieces and a version of the recital program that he and Dawn Upshaw have been touring, and continue to tour.
Goode studied with Elvira Szigeti and Claude Frank, with Nadia Reisenberg at the Mannes College of Music and with Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute.
