Cory Smythe's work as a pianist encompasses a wide range of musical projects. As a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble, he has contributed to numerous premieres, worked with composers Philippe Hurel, Dai Fujikura, Magnus Lindberg, Kaija Saariaho, Mathias Pintscher, and David Lang among many others, and performed in venues across the U.S. and abroad. His recent performance of solo piano music by Lindberg was praised by the Boston Globe for its 'grace and intensity', and a forthcoming recording by ICE (Mode Records) will feature Cory as the piano soloist in Iannis Xenakis's Palimpsest. Equally invested in the classical repertoire, Cory is a sought after chamber musician and inventive soloist, appearing recently at the summer chamber music festivals in Bloomington, IN and Salem, NY, at the Ravinia Rising Stars series with violinist Tim Fain, and making his Carnegie Weill Hall debut with violinist Sung-Ju Lee. As an improviser and jazz musician, Cory has worked with the Greg Osby Four, Pete Robbins' Centric, Tyshawn Sorey, Peter Evans, Beth Schenk, Kyle Quass, and Anthony Braxton. He looks forward to the release of a new collection of original compositions and improvisations for piano and electronics in the spring of 2011. Cory is a graduate of the music schools at Indiana University and the University of Southern California. His principal teachers have included Mary Ann Alexander, Stewart Gordon, and Luba Edlina-Dubinsky.
