Greetings! This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to conduct the Symphonic Orchestra of Guanaguato (OSUG). The concert featured pieces by Hungarian composers including Liszt's Piano Concerto no.1 performed by international concert pianist Laurent Boukobza, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodie no.1, and Varitations on a Hungarian Folksong by Zoltán Kodaláy . To see video of the full performance click here. Early next month I will be Guest Conducting the Fourth International Music Festival Villa Carlos Paz in Cordoba, Argentina. Check back in for more information on that experience. Thank you for reading! LM
Greetings! I am very happy to share that earilier this month I appeared on the nationally syndicated NPR program "Snap Judgement," speaking about the song Gloomy Sunday. This very famous song has been recoreded by artists like Billie Holiday, Elvis Costello and Björk, but the composer was Hungarian, Rezső Seress. The song has a beautifully tragic story that you can listen to here. On September 1st I had the opportunity to perform with the National Philharmonic of Honduras and the Vienna Boys Choir. It was a beautiful concert and an honor to conduct such a group.The concert was reviewed in La Prensa and La Tribuna. Later this month I will be performing with the Symphonic Orchestra of Guanajua
