Czech Republic - Prague                  back to main page
 
In Nov of 1997 I performed David Ott's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic in Zlin in the southern part of the Czech Republic.  It was there that I also recorded American Piano Concertos with Maestro Kirk Trevor, recently released on Koch-Schwann.  In June of 2000 I returned to the Czech Republic as part of the Bösendorfer International Piano Academy along with several of my UNL students.
