Pianist Eleanor Perrone's commitment to the music she is playing is conveyed to the audience with electric energy and technical audacity. As stated by the Boston Globe, "Perrone is a pianist who makes you listen." Concerto engagements have included the Boston Pops, Orquestra Sinfonica de Campinas, Billings Symphony, Merrimack Valley Symphony Orchestra, Thayer Symphony, and with the Brookline Symphony, the Boston premiere of the Vaughan Williams Piano Concerto.

Ms. Perrone has toured in Brazil and Europe, performing in Sao Paolo, Campinas, Brussels, German-American Institutes at Kiel, Saarbrucken and Heidelberg, Teatro alle Vigne di Lodi, and the American Academy in Rome, featuring the piano music of former Academy prize winners, Yehudi Wyner and Stephen Hartke. Other solo and chamber music engagements include Caramoor Festival, Merkin Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Courthouse Center for the Arts, and LiveArts concert series.

Her solo programming reflects a focus on drawing the audience into the music, introducing them to unfamiliar works, re-introducing them to familiar ones and demonstrating that across centuries and musical styles there is a common core of musical experience and expression. Her repertoire ranges from Scarlatti through Bach and to the present, including works by contemporary composers such as Barber, Hartke, Persichetti, Shapero, Stravinsky, Yehudi Wyner.

In response to the acclaim accorded Perrone’s performances of the Beethoven Diabelli Variations, she has recorded them, with the Bagatelles Op. 126, on a VQR Digital CD that includes her own extensive written commentary.

Trained at the Juilliard School and Boston University, she holds a Master of Music degree from Boston University and has studied with Patricia Zander, Anthony di Bonaventura, Bela Boszormenyi-Nagy, and Leonard Eisner.
