Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Alice Brown. As you know, we hold a series of events during the school year on various culture topics. I am happy there’s such a large crowd of both students and professors, that’s it, the second of our time, our city art presentation this year. I see that almost every seat is taken. Tonight, we are lucky to have our guest, the man of considerable fame in the world of music. He began to play the piano at age of 5, by the time he was 10, he was already composing in playing his own pieces. He’s a graduate of the famous Juliet School in New York City. Our guest has spent at least 45 years of his very successful career touring the world playing in concert. We are fortunate that he’s consented to come share some of his experiences with us. He has had many adventures along the way, lost instruments, miss connections, no hotel room, locked concert halls, and so on. He’s played for all of the well-known conductors, not only in North America but all over the world. The title of his talk is the country tour 40 years on 4 continents. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Daniel Robinson, one of the foremost pianists of our day.
