* Liszt-Paganini Project with Violinist Benjamin Sung
2011 is the Liszt Bi-Centennial Year, and Ben and I were invited to present a recital of Liszt Paganini etudes and Paganini caprices that inspired Liszt at Concordia College Liszt Festival. This initial invitation led to many performances of the same program in Gravata and Garanhuns, Brazil, St. Olaf College (MN), Stockbridge (MA), and Jamestown College (ND). I also performed a solo recital with the 6 etudes and 5 related pieces in Olivet, France. We will keep playing this program as it's such a fun challange and a crowd pleaser!
