WDCB's Gary Zidek talks to pianist Jorge Federico Osorio about his new album and streaming recital available on CSOtv.
“I think the important thing is to remain creative. I have plans (to work ) with different conductors and organizations. It (time off during the pandemic) has given me some time to work on new repertoire.” - pianist Jorge Federico Osorio talking about his staying creative and planning for next year.
It’s been an interesting 2020 for concert pianist Jorge Federico Osorio. The Mexican-born, Paris-trained and currently Chicago-based musician is the featured performer in a new recital that’s available through the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s new digital platform CSOtv. The performance was recorded in an empty Orchestra Hall earlier this fall. It marked a return to the stage for Osorio, who was planning for a full year of live performances when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March.
