The San Francisco Chronicle described Max Lifchitz as “a stunning, ultra-sensitive pianist,” while The New York Times praised his
“clean, measured, and sensitive performances.” Lifchitz began his musical training in Mexico City before moving to New York, where he
honed his skills at The Juilliard School. He was awarded first prize in the 1976 International Gaudeamus Competition for Performers of
Twentieth-Century Music. Lifchitz has performed on concert stages across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. His highly
acclaimed solo and ensemble recordings are widely available on streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.
The program features works from the second half of the 20th century by Italian composer Luciano Berio and Pulitzer Prize winner Leon
Kirchner. It also highlights recent works that reflect a cosmopolitan perspective from American composers Lee Calhoun, John McGinn, and B. Allen Schulz, as well as from Icelandic composer Gisli Magnusson and Ukrainian composer Ludmila Yurina.
