Guest Artist: Pianist Lior Leigh

Baltimore-based concert pianist Dr. Lior Leigh performs as a solo and chamber artist in the U.S. and abroad. At the age of 19, he made his New York concerto debut at Carnegie Hall, performing Piano Concerto No. 1 by Dmitri Shostakovich.

He won grand prize and audience prize in the Camerata Artists International Piano Competition following his performance of Piano Concerto No. 3 by Sergei Prokofiev at Merkin Hall. Passionate about the music of our time, Dr. Leigh has premiered countless works and has released a commissioning/performance/article series on I CARE IF YOU LISTEN called Active Listening. Each work in the project hopes to bring awareness and action to a social justice issue chosen by the composer.

Dr. Leigh's performance will feature new works from this series as part of Dr. Gordon Marsh's INQ110 course: Can Music Change the World? All are welcome to attend!
