​​A New York Times critic has said “Marc Peloquin’s energetic approach yielded a performance that was refreshing and alive. Individual lines rang out with remarkable definition and clarity.” The pianist, called an “innovative ivory tickler’ by Time Out, has appeared in a wide range of venues. In New York City he has performed at such venues as The Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, Town Hall, Miller Theatre at Columbia University, Merkin Concert Hall, Weill Recital Hall and Bargemusic . He has also performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C, The Chicago Cultural Center, The Gardner Museum in Boston and the American Academy in Rome. Marc Peloquin has had a longstanding piano partnership with Roberto Hidalgo as the Split Second Piano Duo. The New York Times described the duo as "gifted, musically curious pianists, who also have active solo careers ... the performances were first rate." They have performed in Mexico City at the Palacio des Belleas Artes and at the Foro Internacional de Musica Manuel Eniquez as well as appearing with the Xalapa Symphony in Vera Cruz. Since 2014 they have presented an annual concert at the Round Top Festival Institute. Marc Peloquin also collaborates with the Pulitzer Prize winning American composer/pianist David Del Tredici, performing and recording his music. The composer credits Peloquin with seducing him back to his first love, the piano. “ His personal radiance, superior technique and limitless curiosity did the trick. I am forever in his debt”. July 2012 saw the release of Gotham Glory, the first in a series of four recordings Marc is completing of the complete piano works of the legendary composer. Gramophone’s review of the disc stated: “A longtime Del Tredici champion and associate, Peloquin imbues these performances with idiomatic aplomb and a powerful yet flexible technique.” The complete set will be released in 2022 on the Albany label. Marc Peloquin’s other recordings include the solo piano works of Otto Luening (CRI), works by Chester Biscardi (Naxos), works for two pianos with pianist Roberto Hidalgo (Urtext), the songs of Samuel Barber with soprano Melissa Fogarty (Aureole label) , the piano works of Lionel Nowak (AN), American songs by gay composers with tenor Dennis Tobenski (Perfect Enemy). His recordings have been presented on such radio stations as Beethoven Satellite Network, Performance Today, American Public Media, Radio France, Sirius XM Radio, WFMT (Chicago) , WGBH (Boston) Classical Performances, WGTS (Washington), WWFM and WQXR (New York), and BBC Radio. Marc Peloquin is the creator and curator of the KeyedUp Music Project, a concert series in New York City devoted to music of great composers of our time, their influences, and those they have influenced. The series which began in 2011 has included the world premieres by such composers as David Del Tredici, Ned Rorem, Chester Biscardi, Steven Burke, Reena Esmail, Daron Hagen, and Mario Lavista.
