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 started his musical training in Mexico City before relocating to New York, where he perfected his craft at The Juilliard School. Awarded first prize in the 1976 International Gaudeamus Competition for Performers of Twentieth Century Music, Lifchitz has appeared on concert stages throughout Latin America, Europe, and the US. His highly praised solo and ensemble recordings are widely available through streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.

 

The program includes works written during the first half of the 20th century by beloved Mexican masters Ricardo Castro, Carlos Chavez, Silvestre Revueltas, and Manuel M. Ponce.  It also features more recent works espousing a cosmopolitan outlook by Daniel Catan, Manuel Enrique,z and Maria Teresa Prieto. Also on the program are two compositions written by Mr. Lifchitz while growing up in Mexico City during the 1960s.
