William Wellborn – Liszt in his Bicentenary Year

Fresh from his Beethoven tour of Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria – we are delighted to welcom William Wellborn to our lecture series.
William Wellborn is a highly sought-after pianist, teacher and clinician in the United States and Europe. He has given concerts in twenty states and six countries. Guest artist appearances include the American Liszt Society, the New Orleans Institute for the Performing Arts, the Paderewski Festival, and the Chopin Chez George Sand Festival de piano in La Chatre, France. In the summer of 2011 he had the honor of presenting an all-Liszt program on Liszt’s piano at the Liszt Museum in Weimar, Germany. Dr. Wellborn also gave a concert in San Francisco this past year, honoring the bicentenary of Franz Liszt.
