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. Marc 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.
