Hello Bill,
On Sunday, March 6, 2016 the University City
Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Leon Burke III, performed the
final concert of the 2015-2016 season. I was the piano soloist. Below is the
program and attached are photos from the performance. Prior to the concert Dr.
Burke and I shared information about the music with the audience. It was
thrilling to perform both the James P. Johnson and George Gershwin
Rhapsodies in the same concert!
Musically,
Richard
