Ritz Chamber Players Artists Recital Series presents:

As one of America’s leading pianists, Leon Bates has earned for himself a place on the international concert circuit. His performance schedule includes dates across the United States, in Canada, Italy, France, Austria, Ireland, England as well as Africa. He is invited to perform on the major concert stages around the world and audiences and critics find his musical spirit to possess all the elements of greatness. Mr. Bates has performed with many of the major U.S. symphonies such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Detroit Symphony and the Boston Symphony among others.

In Europe, he has performed with the Vienna Symphony, the Basel Symphony, the Radio-Orchestra of Dublin, the Strasbourg Symphony, Orchestra Sinfonica dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Malmo Symphony of Sweden and more. Whether in recital or as a soloist with orchestra, his praises are enumerated in many different languages—but they are all in agreement on one point: Leon Bates is a major artist and one of America’s best.

He sounds phenomenal in rehearsal. I'm not kidding at all. And this program is absolutely ridiculous if you are a fan of big, juicy, early-20th century piano repertoire.

Think I should do Sing-along Messiah in OP or this?

I love classical music though I can't see myself sitting through a piano concert, only because I prefer orchestral music complete with a maestro and his spasmodic baton. Even an orchestral organ I would find less boring. I did go to a piano concert at Carnegie Hall years ago but only because the performer was a family friend. Nevertheless, projectmaximus, your post does a service by letting people know that Jacksonville is not only about rap (non-music) and country & western, not that there's anything wrong with that.

haha, yes. but I must say that this is a good program for both amateurs and serious enthusiast to listen to. It's interesting enough for the advanced listener but still suitable and very enjoyable for those who aren't too familiar with the rep. Of course, as a pianist myself I may be biased as to what I consider accessible to your average person.
