“Brendan Kinsella presented the concert ‘Lisztomania’ on a date that could be daunting, October 22nd, 2011, the actually 200th birth anniversary of Franz Liszt, but you will hear that it didn’t seem to faze him at all.  In fact, he attacked one of Liszt’s more famous transcriptions [Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, op. 67] with the passion and energy that Liszt required.”
    -Bill Baker, host of Syracuse Public Radio’s “Concert Hall”.

“An amazing pianist.” 
-The Houston Chronicle

“Pianist Brendan Kinsella did a great job of breathing life into arrangements [Radiohead-O’Riley transcriptions] that, in lesser hands, might deflate ever so slightly.”  
-NewMusicBox.org    

"A sensitive musician with an ear for color”   
-The Cincinnati Enquirer

A dedicated teacher, Brendan presently serves as Professor of Piano at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley School of Music, where he teaches applied piano, chamber music, piano pedagogy, and piano literature.
