To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Liszt (2011) I'll perform two of the greatest solo piano works ever composed in one program: Liszt's Sonata in B minor (dedicated to Robert Schumann), and Schumann's powerful Fantasie in C major, Op. 17 (dedicated to Franz Liszt). Look for this recital to take place in the Spring of 2011.

In March, I'll join the Brevard Symphony Orchestra for performances of Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major.]]> http://scottwatkinspianist.com/news.html#80 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Official Website - SCOTT WATKINS - NEWS http://scottwatkinspianist.com/news.html#79 http://scottwatkinspianist.com/news.html#79 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0800 Official Website - SCOTT WATKINS - NEWS http://scottwatkinspianist.com/news.html#78

After viewing a video of Jorge Bolet performing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, from a broadcast in 1961 (the Bell Telephone Hour Orchestra was conducted by Paul Whiteman, who gave, with Gershwin himself, the first ever performance of Rhapsody in Blue in 1925), we were treated to stories and memories of "Uncle Jorge."

I'll be posting photos soon.]]> http://scottwatkinspianist.com/news.html#39 Wed, 02 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0800 Official Website - SCOTT WATKINS - NEWS
