Ingrid Keller

PIANIST | FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Ingrid Keller is the Founding Artistic Director of The Belvedere Series. She holds a multifaceted career as a recitalist, collaborative pianist, and teacher, with performances hailed as “having graceful power…a revelation in musical excellence” (Oakwood Register) and an “unforgettable experience” (Berkshire Gazette). She has performed nationally in such distinguished venues as the Kennedy Center, Symphony Hall in Boston, Jordan Hall, the Banff Centre, and Tanglewood, as well as internationally. Recent collaborations have brought her on stage with the Mark Morris Dance group and members of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Dayton Philharmonic, Oklahoma City Philharmonic, and Richmond Symphony; and alongside such celebrated musicians as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Leonidas Kavakos, and Joe Burgstaller. 

As a chamber musician, Ingrid is equally at home with instrumental chamber music as well as song and operatic repertoire, formerly serving on the staff of Indianapolis Opera and Oberlin in Italy. Continually seeking new and innovative projects, she performed a solo rendition of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring as part of an interdisciplinary collaboration in music, dance, and fashion for the University of Dayton’s ArtsAlive programming.

Ingrid has held positions at the University of Dayton, Northern Kentucky University, University of Oregon, and University of Richmond. She served as staff pianist for the Richmond Symphony from 2019-2022 and is currently on the faculty of William and Mary. Her album in collaboration with tenor Jason Vest, Evening Hours: Songs of Richard Hundley, was released through Roven Records in 2018.

Ingrid earned a doctorate from Indiana University, where she studied under the tutelage of world-renowned pianist Menahem Pressler.
