| MARC ON THE AIR |
| Updated May 31, 2009 |


| On January 24, 2009, Marc delivered a speech and performed selections by Mozart, Chopin and others in a solo benefit concert for the China-California Heart Watch organization, raising $8,500 to help save the lives of impoverished rural Chinese children born with heart defects. |

| Many people have been asking about Marc’s Carnegie Hall debut, and the date has been confirmed as October 27, 2009. This will not be a solo debut however, nor will it be a concert by Lang Lang in which Marc is a guest, as it was for the Royal Albert Hall show last August. Lang Lang and Marc will again perform together, but only a short duet, as they will be one of many acts performing that evening. The details of the show are still in the works and we will give you updates as soon as they become available. But Carnegie Hall isn’t our most exciting news! Marc has been invited to perform at the Ludwig Van Beethoven Festival in Warsaw, Poland! He is scheduled to perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 on Sunday, November 15, 2009 with the Beethoven Academy Orchestra under the direction of conductor Nicola Paszkowski. For more information on this event, please visit the Ludwig Van Beethoven Association website. |
| MUSIC SAVING LIVES |
| UPCOMING PERFORMANCES |
| Dr. Robert Detrano, president of the organization, recently informed us of a young boy in China who was saved thanks to a portion of the money raised at Marc’s benefit performance. Cui Jing, a six-year- old from the Yunan Province was born with congenital heart disease and had little chance of living a few more years. But thanks to the donations of everyone who attended Marc’s concert, Cui Jing was able to receive the open heart surgery that he needed to survive, and is now on his way to being a normal, healthy child. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this miracle possible. |
