He is also the first Chamber Music Advisor to the Kennedy Center, an appointment that grew out of his close association with the Center over many seasons.
Recently, Mr Kalichstein was featured with the National Symphony at its season-opening concert commemorating Music Director Leonard Slatkin’s 60th birthday. He has also participated in the Ravinia Festival’s ongoing Mozart celebration, performing two of the piano concerti with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under James Conlon, Ravinia’s new music director. In summer 2006, he appeared as guest soloist and chamber music collaborator in Aspen, Chautauqua and La Jolla.
During the 2006/07 season, Mr Kalichstein will tour the U.S. and Europe with the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson piano trio that will include a performance at Carnegie Hall, give the world premiere of Danielpour’s The Book of Hours at KLR Kravis Center with that trio, solo with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, and perform chamber music with the Emerson String Quartet, among others.
