Past Events:

·     Masterclasses and Lectures:

National Conservatory of Mexico, Nov. 2005: 

We just came back from Mexico City where we played a concert at the Silvestre Revueltas Auditorium, sold a lot of CDs, and where I gave a composition master-class and a lecture on my music at the National Conservatory of Mexico.  It was a success, and we have since received seven invitations to play concerts and festivals in Mexico , Ecuador and Argentina . 

 Lucia received an invitation to play with the Symphony Orchestra of the National University of Cuyo in Mendoza , Argentina .  She will perform Mozart’s C major Piano Concerto, K415.

We played three concerts in Italy : Rome (Nov. 4^th), Mola di Bari (Oct. 29^th), and Monopoli (Oct. 30^th). In the latter we both received a medal for “Civil Service to the City” after our concert. Stay tuned for a review of the Mola di Bari concert on our site.

We played two concerts in the US : at the College of Staten Island (Oct. 9^th), and in Swan Lake , NY (Sept.19^th).

On Sept. 21^st we gave a two-hour long interview on WJFF about our music.
