Described as being a ”natural at the keyboard; and playing with “verve, spirit and zest,” pianist SCOTT CARRELL enjoys a multi-faceted career as a pianist, collaborator and composer, having performed in the U.S.A., Europe and Asia. His virtuosic flair, expressive playing, informative comments, and innovative programming have garnered enthusiastic responses from audiences and presenters alike. His varied interests have resulted in several programs of French music, ragtime, and lesser-known works of the repertoire, resulting in residencies at Texarkana College, Northwest Missouri State University, and Guongdong University of Foreign Studies in Guangzhou, China.

Concerto performances feature works from Bach to Prokofiev and include appearances with the Austin Symphony Orchestra, the Pine Bluff Symphony Orchestra, the Southwestern University Orchestra, the Plainview Symphony Orchestra, the Fort Worth Civic Orchestra, the Little Rock Wind Symphony, the New York Classical Players, the Russian String Orchestra, and twice with the Harding University/Community Orchestra. He co-founded and performed in the Searcy Chamber Music Series as well as 242 Strings, a faculty piano quartet at Harding University. Other chamber music recitals have been performed with members of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and the Austin Symphony Orchestra.

He received degrees from Southwestern University, the University of Illinois, and the D.M.A. from the University of North Texas. Carrell studied with internationally-know artists Drusilla Huffmaster, Ian Hobson, and Vladimir Viardo and participated in masterclasses with Gail Delente, Roy HOwat, Dominique Merlet, and Abbey Simon. He currently teaches piano, piano related courses, and music theory at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. Carrell is in demand as a soloist, collaborative artist, teacher and adjudicator.
