Lorenzo Sánchez, pianist, has enjoyed interpreting music of a variety of styles and nationalities in the United States, Mexico, and Europe.

Lorenzo holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from the University of Southern California.
PROGRAM NOTES:
The two works on this program were originally composed by men close in age. Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev was 29 when he wrote his Five Melodies for singer Nina Koshetz in 1920. According to LA Phil write John Henken, Prokofiev did most of his work on these melodies right here in California. “I am as ecstatic about California as it is about me,” Prokofiev wrote from Los Angeles. [1] As a pianist, I am struck by the exquisite harmonies, orchestral textures, technical challenges, and sheer beauty. The violinist’s part is also rich with typical string-player arsenal: pizzicatos, double stops, singing melodies, and harmonics. The result is gorgeous music from a legendary Russian composer who was in our part of the world.
Mexican composer Domingo Lobato was 27 when he composed his Sonata Noël. Lobato’s varied output includes works for solo piano, voice, sacred and secular choral works, organ music, and orchestral pieces. His music encompasses many styles, including atonal music, works that reflect dance music from his home state of Michoacán, and those of an international flavor. However, his earlier works are abundant with impressionist elements. The pulchritudinous Sonata Noël is comprised of four movements; each representing a different facet of the Christmas theme. - Lorenzo Sánchez
