Richard Kogan Biography
Richard Kogan has a distinguished career both as a concert pianist and as a psychiatrist. 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." He is a clinical professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College and the artistic director of the Weill Cornell Music and Medicine Program.
Kogan has gained international recognition for his lecture-recitals that explore the role of music in healing and the impact of psychological forces and psychiatric and medical illness on the creative output of the great composers. He tells vivid stories about famous composers who suffered mental problems—frequent among highly creative people—while illustrating the composer's work by exquisitely playing excerpts from their compositions. From composers such as Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, Schumann, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Leonard Bernstein, Dr. Kogan shares an insight and journey into some of the most creative minds, while humanizing medicine and bringing more of the person into medical practice. Dr. Kogan will open your ears and eyes to the symphony that is humanity, music, and medicine.
A recipient of the American College of Psychiatry Public Service Award, among other honors, Kogan has degrees from both The Juilliard School of Music and Harvard Medical School.
