Schedule

As this year’s awardee of the Daniel Ericourt Residency at UNC – Greensboro, I will give three master classes and present a solo recital during my residency.

Mr. Ericourt was a legendary interpreter of French keyboard music as well as a personal friend of my own teacher Mieczyslaw Münz. In tribute my program will include Ericourt’s transcription of Maurice Ravel’s “Piece en forme de Habañera (which was recorded by Münz in 1928).
