Leonid Treer was born in the former Soviet Union. He performs in the tradition of his great Russian predecessors. Critics hail his "striking demonstration of the grand Russian piano manner" citing his "sensitive, emotional interpretations with a formidable technique." He began his studies at age six under the tutelage of Anna Stoliarevich, student of the eminent pianist-conductor Felix Blumenfeld, who also taught Vladmir Horowitz and came himself from the schools of Rimsky-Korsakoff and Anton Rubinstein. L. Treer graduated from the prestigious Moscow Gnessin Institute of Musical Pedagogics, where his distinguished teachers included Georgy Fedorenko and Boris Berlin, who was from the school of Konstantin Igumnov, a creator of the great Russian school of piano performance. Mr. Leonid Treer is Professor of Music/Artist-in-Residence at Florida Atlantic University's School of the Arts in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters.

He is Artistic Director of FAU Chamber Soloists and founder of Tchaikovsky and Dvorak Festivals, and concert series "Roots of Classical Music".
