2011-2012 concert season about to open

Posted on July 9, 2011 with 0 comments
Planning is the key to success in music, whether it's practicing for upcoming performances or preparing for concerts which seem way off in the future. Plan!

There's a series of performances coming up in April of 2012 I am looking forward to. The music is by Beethoven. First, January 22, I'm joined by baritone Kryztof Biernacki for a performance of "An die ferne Geliebte," then violinist Marguerite Richardson and cellist Shannon Lockwood and I perform the "Ghost" trio. Margerite and I will conclude our concert with the Violin Sonata in C minor.

Later, in April (on the 13th), I join the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and conductor Michael Butterman for performances of the Third Piano Concerto.

A week later, April 20, I'll present a recital of four popular sonatas (can you guess which ones?) Pathetique, Tempest, Moonlight, Waldstein.

Finally, the whole project concludes with a release party in September of 2012 of my newest CD, a two-disc set of Beethoven sonatas (including those four popular ones mentioned above plus Opp. 101 and 109).

None of this can happen without planning.

Looking forward to seeing you at a concert soon!
