In December 2000, he made his first solo recital appearance at Weill

He has also recorded a CD featuring the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff.
Performances in recent seasons include Mr. Bradham’s third and fourth

soloist with the New York Symphonic Arts Ensemble in a performance of
the Schumann Piano Concerto conducted by Sybille Werner, Music Director
of the orchestra, a recital presented by Beethoven Pianos in New York,
and a recital at Steinway Hall in New York.
In October 2007 he was presented in concert at the historic Carolina

Violence Awareness Month. Reviewer Tim Lindeman described Benjamin
Bradham as “a mature artist with prodigious technical skills” (The
Greensboro Daily News, 10/8/2007).
More recent appearances include recitals at St. Malachy’s-The Actors’

an evening-long work predominantly featuring keyboard works by J.S.
Bach, along with pieces by his contemporaries Francois Couperin, Louis
Couperin, and P.D. Paradies. Doborah Jowitt wrote, “What pianist
Benjamin Brdaham draws so expertly from his instrument underscores the
elegance of the ambience” (The Village Voice, 10/13/2009).
In April 2011 he performed in a similar capacity at Alvin Ailey
Citigroup Theater playing music of Sergei Rachmaninoff in an evening of
dance works of choreographer Avi Scher.
