Happy Holiday Season to everyone:
I am happy to announce Justin Markowitz, composer, pianist in recital. Justin's dad sent me the announcement of this performance. Good luck to you and enjoy every note you play!!! Merry Christmas. Eva
Hi All,
I’d like to alert all of you regarding Justin’s Premiere performance this Sunday, December 28th, at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater with the California Chamber Orchestra. Justin was asked to perform/orchestrate one of his original compositions, World of Wonders, for this “Festive Music of the Season” show. How many 17 year olds can say they composed and performed one of their pieces with an orchestra??? And if that’s not exciting enough, Justin will return later in the show for an encore solo piano performance of another original composition entitled, Life Cycle.
I understand Temecula is out of reach for most of you; however it would be fantastic if you could attend.
I’d like to wish all of you a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year filled with love, laughter and great music! Cheers,
Todd Markowitz (proud dad)
