About the Artist

Pianist-composer for the 21st century

Sam Post is a versatile pianist-composer who has written for the San Francisco Symphony and Washington Performing Arts, recorded his own piano solo albums, and co-founded Kassia Music, a chamber music ensemble dedicated to performing new works alongside lesser-known classics. The Washington Post has praised his abilities at the piano (“confident, sensitive…a pianist with drive and intelligence”), the Bay Area Reporter lauded his chamber symphony (“Post has created a breathtaking musical joy ride”), and luminaries such as Renée Fleming have commended his overall musicianship (“incredibly gifted”). Sam is based in Silver Spring, MD.
