Mr. Jorgensen has spent eight recent summers in Austria on the staff of the Summer Academy in Lilienfeld, near Vienna, accompanying, playing solo and chamber works on harpsichord, organ and piano among distinguished musicians from Vienna and Salzburg.

He graduated with honors from California State University, Fresno, where he studied with Philip Lorenz, Claudio Arrau’s longtime friend and associate, and with Ena Bronstein, also an Arrau student and concert artist. He subsequently earned, with the highest marks, the Licentiate Degree from the Royal School of Music in London, England.

He has performed in New York’s Carnegie Hall with bassbaritone Earl Meyers, receiving favorable reviews from not only the New York Times, but also from German and Dutch papers.

Mr. Jorgensen is one of the few pianists today who include in concerts on-the-spot improvisations, which he feels stimulate audience imagination. <back
