Leon appeared in
our concert schedule previously with Katie
Schlaikjer, who is now
a member of the Colorado String Quartet. His performance was so moving that we
thought we'd ask him back. Lucky for us, (and you) he said Yes!
Lithuanian pianist Leon Livshin
has performed extensively throughout Europe and the United States, winning
several international piano competitions while earning impressive music
degrees. Leon is returning to our concert series to woo another audience with
his superb musicianship and consummate style.
