Edith Grosz
Edith Grosz (born August 9, 1919 in Philadelphia , † February 14, 2011 in Amsterdam ) was an American-Dutch pianist.
Grosz studied piano with Olga Samaroff and Eduard Steuermann at the Juilliard School in New York . She and her husband, the violinist Isidor Latiner , have given chamber music concerts all over the world as a duo. They made numerous recordings. In 1963 both went to the Netherlands.
Grosz was best known for the chamber music series "Rondje Romantiek" ("Romantic Round"), which she gave with her husband and the cellist Godfried Hoogeveen at the Koninklijk Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Grosz trained generations of pianists at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam, including Barbara Lister-Sink , Rian de Waal , Anna van Nieukerken , Kees Wieringa and Ad Wammes . In her training, she placed great emphasis on feeling in the entire musculoskeletal system, which is the basis of the so-called Lister Sink technique. In the early 1980s, Grosz entered into a relationship with the Dutch composer Jochem Slothouwer , whom she married in 2008.
In addition to her musical activities as a pianist and teacher, Grosz ran the “Brasserie Rondo” in Amsterdam, a café where students and artists came together.
Grosz is the sister of the social scientist Bertram Myron Gross .
