Pianist Cecil Lytle has been a San Diego presence for over four decades, a specialist in Liszt (he won First Prize in the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition), jazz, and 20th-century music. He appeared on Jazz at the Athenaeum in 1993, and this marks his first performance for our Chamber Music Series. His concert features music by two great piano virtuosos: Franz Liszt and Thomas “Fats” Waller.
