The Salt Lake Tribune praised his well-rounded artistry by saying, “Strauss quickly established that he is a virtuoso to be reckoned with. But amid his technical acumen, there was a genuine musician. His interpretive prowess was delightful.” Pianist Jeffrey LaDeur enjoys an increasingly busy career as concerto soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. A founding member of the Delphi Trio, he has performed in concert around the world, his recitals have been broadcast by WFMT Chicago and South Dakota Public Broadcasting, and he is a highly sought after teacher and chamber music coach.
