Dr. Richard Kogan has a distinguished career both as a world renowned concert pianist and psychiatrist. Dr. Kogan explores the links between creativity, particularly in music and mental health. His lecture-concerts combine piano recital with medical analysis of figures like Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and Gershwin. He has been praised for his "eloquent, compelling, and exquisite playing" by the New York Times, and the Boston Globe wrote that "Kogan has somehow managed to excel at the world's two most demanding professions."
Dr. Kogan is a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music Pre-college, Harvard College, and Harvard Medical School. He completed a psychiatry residency and academic fellowship at NYU. He has a private practice of psychiatry in New York City and is affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College as Co-Director of its Human Sexuality Program. He is also Co-Chairman of the recently established Weill Cornell Music/Medicine Initiative.
