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.
