We have been so enormously excited by the outpouring of interest in Lowell Liebermann's Third Piano Concerto project. With 15 orchestras on board, we hope to continure expanding the global horizons of the project. The comradery of other countries is beginning to be felt, as we are waiting replies from several international orchestra, and already have a European Premiere in place in Germany. The current list is:
As of January 21:
Milwaukee (World Premiere)Andreas Delfs
Schleswig Holstein (European Premiere)Gerard Oskamp
Colorado--Jeffrey Kahane
San Diego (CA)Jahja Ling
Louisiana--conductor tba
Huntsville (AL) Carlos Miguel Prieto

Springfield (MA)Kevin Rhodes
Knoxville (TN)Lucas Richman

It almost seems like the Zwilich Millennium Project all over again, this time with global partners. I am sure Lowell will compose something that will one day be spoken in the context of the Rachmaninov 3rd, Prokofiev 3rd, and the Liebermann 3rd!! For members of this project reading, my sincerest thanks, and I look forward to our collaboration.
