American pianist Manon Hutton-DeWys has long been earning praise and recognition for her performances of classical and modern music. In Musical America, Christian Carey wrote: “Hutton-DeWys did an admirable job creating legato lyricism in a solo line that resides amidst a tremendously active accompaniment. Her sensitive dynamic shadings and subtle use of rubato demonstrated an artist possessing a great deal of promise." Hutton-DeWys has performed in some of classical music's best-known venues, including Weill and Zankel Halls at Carnegie Hall and the Salle Cortot at the École Normale de Musique in Paris. She has also recently appeared at Symphony Space, Bargemusic, Steinway Hall, the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Northeastern and Tufts Universities, and The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space, home to radio station WNYC.

Hutton-DeWys holds degrees from Mannes College of Music, Bard College, and Simon's Rock College of Bard. Her former teachers were Jerome Rose and German Diez. Currently, she studies under Thomas Sauer and is a candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the City University of New York’s Graduate Center. A native of New York's beautiful Hudson River Valley, Hutton-DeWys currently works as a teacher and freelance pianist in New York City. She is on the piano faculty of Greenwich House Music School and is a member of the executive board of the Piano Teachers' Congress of New York.
