Mr. Lopez received critical acclaim for his interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and performed the complete cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos in his last two concert seasons. He was invited by The International Holland Music Sessions, now one of the top performing arenas for up-and-coming musicians in Europe, to go on a world tour where he performed in Paris, London, Cologne, New York's Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, and in Los Angeles where he was hailed by the Los Angeles Times for his ". . . musical perspective, continuity, and kaleidoscopic colors." He also performed Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue to a capacity crowd with the NH Music Festival Orchestra. Last June he gave recitals in Switzerland and Holland and in October 2008 played Chopin's First Piano Concerto. He premiered a piano concerto written for him by Romeo Melloni, an Italian composer from Milan, which he recorded with the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra in Prague with Maestro Paul Polivnick. He went on a West Coast tour in March 2010, performing solo and chamber music concerts as well as masterclasses in Seattle and Portland. Mr. Lopez performed at Brown University with renowned American composer David Amram for a weeklong residency, and his recent tour of chamber music concerts in Australia garnered an invitation to the Kowmung Music Festival next year. | |||
