Pianist Michael Chertock to Perform in LCCC's Signature Series Concert

 

World-renowned pianist Michael Chertock will showcase his talents at a
free concert at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, February 23 at Lorain County
Community College.

Chertock's performance is part of the Signature Series and is hosted by
composer and LCCC Distinguished Visiting Professor Jeffrey Mumford. The
concert is sponsored by LCCC's arts and humanities division.

Chertock has fashioned a successful career as an orchestral soloist,

Lockhart, Erich Kunzel and Andrew Litton. His many orchestral
appearances include solo performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra,
l'Orchestre Symphonique du Montreal, the Toronto Symphony, the Baltimore
Symphony, the Naples Philharmonic, the Detroit Symphony, the Chattanooga
Symphony, the Utah Symphony, the Oregon Symphony, the Indianapolis
Symphony and the Dayton Philharmonic. Chertock has toured Asia with the
Boston Pops and the Cincinnati Pops orchestras. He made his Carnegie
Hall debut in 1999 with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, performing Duke
Ellington's "New World A'Comin'."

 

In 2005, Chertock performed the world premiere of a work by Todd
Machover for hyperklavier and orchestra with computerized visual
accompaniment, commissioned by the Boston Pops Orchestra expressly for
Chertock. He recorded the piece, called "Jeux Deux," in Denmark in 2007.
Last May, Chertock traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, for the world premiere
and recording of a new work written especially for him by Roger Davis,
who is on the music faculty at Miami University in Ohio.

 

Chertock's talents have received rave reviews from critics around the
world. Don't miss this unique opportunity to see him perform for free at
