BECK GRIMM || PIANIST
Beck Grimm (né Ben Gimm) has appeared as a recitalist and collaborator throughout the Pacific Northwest. His affinity for contemporary music has led to work with living composers via Cascadia Composers, including features in works that earned 3rd prize in the Fidelio International Competition (Atonal Piano Category) and were featured on the album JUN (Skydeck Music, 2024).
