Pianist Joy Schreier is praised by Plácido Domingo as an “orchestra at the piano” and by Opera News as a “superbly emotive pianist [that] wrings every nuance out.” She is acclaimed as “perfection itself…the dream accompanist” (Washington Post). Schreier has been presented in recital at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall, the White House, Kennedy Center,
Corcoran Gallery, National Gallery of Art, National Museum for Women in the Arts, National Portrait Gallery, Phillips Collection, Cosmos Club and Strathmore Hall, as well as numerous embassies and recital halls throughout the country. Schreier regularly works with soprano Renée Fleming as her rehearsal pianist and coach. She is assistant conductor at the Washington National Opera, Baltimore Concert Opera and Cathedral Choral Society, and keyboard artist for the Washington Bach Consort.
For Confessions, her 2020 CD release with Laura Strickling, Schmopera declared that Schreier is “an indispensable accompanist. She is either preternaturally intuitive or has achieved perfect communication…perhaps a bit of both.”
Schreier’s concert engagements include a sold-out Carnegie Hall debut with Danielle Talamantes at Weill Recital Hall and a recital series with Isabel Leonard for the Marilyn Horne Foundation. An avid chamber musician, Schreier performs as official pianist of the Washington International String & Voice Competitions at the Kennedy Center. She has served as official pianist for the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions and coach for the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program. Schreier received her doctorate in accompanying and chamber music at the Eastman School of Music where she was the recipient of the Barbara Koeng Award for Excellence in Vocal Accompanying.
