I will be attending this competition on Sunday, May 22nd. (12 semi finalists perform solo recitals, then the 3 finalists perform concertos.) I will also hear the orchestra the night before with an Italian-flavored concert that will include the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with Benedetto Lupo (Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Bronze Medalist). I am looking forward to getting a really-needed shot in the arm of inspiration to get me back to working hard on my program.
