France’s Republique du Centre has called him “a virtuoso of the first magnitude” while American Record Guide awarded him a Critic’s Choice—top 10% of reviews for the year—writing, “Milbauer employs a full expressive range, performs with astounding delicacy, and conveys unspeakable wonder through an intimate touch and astonishing versatility.” A laureate of the Orléans Concours in France for piano music of the 20th Century, he has contributed a chapter on the performance of the music of John Cage to The Pianist’s Craft series. His Humanities Seminar “Beyond Brahms at the Piano”—a twelve hour multi-disciplinary lecture/recital on the fragmentation of compositional languages over the last century—won the Humanities Seminar Program Superior Teaching Award in 2020 from UA’s College of Humanities. A versatile musician, Milbauer has performed with the Mills Brothers and Pink Martini.
