"He [Attwood] displayed a love of the grand Romantic gesture.  Huge sound, high emotion, and an instinct for sharply etched color. He also is a pianist of impressive technique, a player who can rattle off scalar figurations with aplomb and dazzle and still make room in his palette for the simplicity of the thematic line..."
        Koji Attwood received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Seymour Lipkin, and a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School under Jerome Lowenthal. He recently earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Juilliard, where he continued his studies with Mr. Lowenthal.

dear koji,

i would love to attend.  unfortunately, i don't know if my husband will be ok from a surgery on the 27th on one of his eyes.  if he is good - it would be so nice to ride with somebody from west chester.  but, i don't know if dr. cranmer knows of your recital.  **wonders if dr. cranmer would drive his students (of which i would have to call) to this recital?  he did for another recital.  can you e-mail him and ask? 

cool about the transcriptions!  susan kossey

ps do you have debussy's own fingering for 'the isle of joy?'  just wondering. 

[brahmsian]

If I didn't live on the opposite side of the continent I would definetly attend.

Looks like an amazing programme!

Good luck with the concert!

Break a leg! You will knock 'em dead>

If I didn't live on another continent I would definetly attend.

Good luck!!!

Alas! A month too soon, for I will be in New York in February!  Couldn't you push it back a tad?   

Will you be recording?  I have loved listening to your live recordings in the AR. 

[ronde_des_sylphes]

I'd love to attend, but sadly, living in the UK makes that rather difficult.  Nice to see such an interesting programme (especially, as far as I'm concerned, the Liapunov - my screenname might give away my interest in that area!).

Very best of luck.

[allthumbs]

If I ever come to New York, would you give me a private concert? 

[jakev2.0]

I'm on the other side of the continent, regrettably.

Do you have any plans of videoing the concert?

Best of luck on your debut.

[franzliszt2]

I wish I could come, but I live on the other side of the Atlantic so getting there may be difficult. Looks a great programme though!!
