I will be performing both Beethoven’s 4th AND 5th (“Emperor”) piano concertos in a single concert, and the orchestra will also perform Beethoven’s Consecration of the House Overture and the Overture to the Creatures of Prometheus. You can find out more and purchase tickets by visiting the site of the Chicago Arts Orchestra here. Please come if you can!

I have many exciting performances this season, which I hope you will take a look at on my Concerts page of this website.

Our next one is scheduled for September 8 – 16, and it will be a festival of epic proportions I hope you all plan on attending! So stay tuned. Also, “like” me on my Facebook page and follow me on twitter.

This website is still being developed, and a lot of information is progressively being added. Please excuse any missing elements!
