André Watts’ storied career began at the age of 16, when Leonard Bernstein chose him to perform on one of the televised Young People’s Concerts. A perennial favorite with orchestras, he is a regular guest at major summer music festivals and the recipient of a 2011 National Medal of Arts. Watts has had a longtime association with TV audiences through his appearances on PBS, BBC and A&E, most recently as guest soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Seattle Symphony Orchestra on PBS.
