BBC Concert Orchestra Tour Comes to an End!
It was a crazy several weeks, but the BBC Concert Orchestra tour with Keith Lockhart was a huge success. We got some awesome reviews (links below), and it was overall an absolute blast!

End of the 2015 BBC Concert Orchestra Tour!
Charlie and Keith Lockhart |
After I returned at the end of April, I had several concerts to prepare for. After a short performance for a benefit dinner for the Seattle Symphony, I gave a small concert in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Then, I headed off to Muskegon, Michigan, where I played both the Grieg Concerto with the West Michigan Symphony, and then a solo concert the next evening. Whew!
The Start of a New Season
I'm in New York now, learning lots of new music for the coming season. After a few small performances in June, I'll debut with the Houston Symphony on June 20, playing the Gershwin Concerto...should be fun! Next season, I'll also debut with the Alabama Symphony, the Des Moines Symphony, and at the Portland International Piano Festival. I'll also start my next cycle of concerts at the Gardner Museum in Boston...this time a "Themes and Variations" cycle.
