15 dollars!

add that to the price of an airline ticket and i'm afraid i can't make it.

Seriously.. congrats and good luck.

Thats great, but theres a greater chance of me not being able to make it due to the fact its on a school night. but we'll see what happens

Thrakoji:

Do you have any details on the program? They don't seem to be at the Yamaha site.

I'm not sure what Kimball and Mei-ting are playing; for my part it'll be Les Jeux d'Eaux à la Villa d'Este, Valse Oubliée no 1, and Book one of the Op. 5 Klavierstucke of Eugene D'Albert.

Thanks for the info, Thracozaag.

I hope there will also be some Tausig in it! All the best for the concert (alas, wrong side of the ocean for me).

Rest of the program:

Mei-Ting Sun- Schubert-Tausig(1841-1871): March Militaire

Liszt: Au bord d'une source from Annees de Pelerinage “Swiss”
Paganini Etude No. 5 “La Chasse” (original version)
Two Concert Etudes- Waldesrauschen, Gnomenreigen


Kimball Gallagher-Liszt: St. Francis of Paul walking on the waves

Sgambati(1841-1914): Combatinno
Gluck-Sgambati: Melody from Orpheus
Liszt-Cameron: Hunnenschlacht Symphonic Poem No. 11
(World Premiere)

Gyorgy Cziffra-Liszt:Transcendental Etude No. 11, Valse Impromptu

from“Les Grand Eschier”

Same here, but wouldn't it be cool to meet Koji sometime?

Definitely. We can only hope he is going to visit old Europe more often

Let's wine and dine him... we'll go "Dutch".... (Wouldn't mind meeting you either...)

I had to google this term... No we shouldn't go Dutch with koji, we need to pay the bill if he cares to visit -- let's just pick a cheap restaurant

And yes, at some point, a European meeting would be fun. It's a pity the density of piano geeks (at least of those who love to waste their time in forums) seems lower than in the US.

Btw, I'm trying not to be a "Dutch uncle" when commenting on other people's recordings. Another Dutch term I just learned...

Of course we'll pay. So now you've learned two English terms... that and "tongue in cheek"?

Ah, Irving Berlin, Cheek to Cheek. :p

Cheers, mate...

Just bumping this--plenty of seats still available.

So wish I could be there - tear it up!

Yes, one of these days...I *will* make a Cziffra Society concert. Keep 'em coming! Great program, too..I'd be most interested in the Liszt-Cameron. That's one of my favorites among Liszt's neglected symphonic poems.
