Rebecca Penneys leads a distinguished career as a recitalist, chamber musician, orchestral soloist, educator and recording artist. The Milwaukee Sentinel quotes “When she touches her wand-like fingers to the keyboard, thunder rolls, lighting breaks through the heavens, and Elysian songs are heard.” For four decades her intelligent and insightful performances have held audiences spellbound. She combines a busy concert schedule with guidance for an international class of students at Eastman and Chautauqua and gives master classes and seminars at other major teaching institutions worldwide. She has been Professor of Piano at Eastman since 1980 and resident artist and teacher for twenty-four consecutive seasons. She has created a program there, which is unique in the world of piano instruction. In 2001, she was appointed Visiting Artist at St. Petersburg College, Florida.
