Her natural talent was honed at the Curtis Institute of Music by three of the greatest performer/pedagogues of our time: Rudolf Serkin, Seymour Lipkin and Mieczyslaw Horszowski. Licad's large repertoire as an orchestral soloist spans the Classical works of Mozart and Beethoven, the Romantic literature of Brahms, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Schumann and Rachmaninoff, and on to the 20th century compositions of Debussy, Ravel, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Bartok. Recent highlights include performances with Seattle Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, Virginia Symphony, Santa Rosa Symphony, Tucson Symphony, and at the La Jolla Chamber Music and Eastern Music Festivals. In 2010-‐11, she joined the Wynton Marsalis Septet performing the music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk to accompany the feature film Louis, a silent film homage to Louis Armstrong which premiered at Chicago's Symphony Center, and was also seen in Detroit, Bethesda MD, Philadelphia and at the Apollo Theater in New York City. She also traveled to Russia to play Brahms Piano Concerto #1 with the Moscow State Academy Symphony. In 2011-‐12 she performs with Santa Fe Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra in Brahms' Concerto No. 1 and in recital playing a Liszt/Chopin program; performs in recital at Xavier University in Cincinnati and on Boston's Gardner Museum Concerts series; and tours Germany again with cellist Alban Gerhardt, with whom she often collaborates in piano/cello duos recitals. The Louis project was also repeated with two performances at London's Barbican Hall, followed by a recording of the live music at Abbey Road studios. Licad has toured in Germany in past seasons with the Wurtemburg Philharmonic, appeared with the Freiburg Orchestra performing the Shostakovich Concerto for Piano and Trumpet, and performed with Alban Gerhardt, both in Germany and the United States. She has appeared in North America with orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, National Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and many others. In Europe she has played with the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Bayerisches Rundfunk Orchestra, and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. In Asia, she has performed with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, New Japan Philharmonic, Tokyo's NHK Symphony and her native Philippine Philharmonic. Among the conductors with whom she has collaborated are Claudio Abbado, Andrew Davis, Charles Dutoit, Kurt Masur, Sir Neville Marriner, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn, Gerard Schwarz, Michael Tilson-‐Thomas, David Zinman, Pinchas Zukerman, as well as the late Sir Georg Solti, Eugene Ormandy, and Mstislav Rostropovich. Cecile Licad has performed in recital with Murray Perahia, Peter Serkin and Nadja Salerno-‐Sonnenberg, with whom she has appeared at Lincoln Center, Orchestra Hall in Chicago, and the Kennedy Center, respectively. She appeared as soloist in the Steinway Piano Sesquicentennial Celebration at Carnegie Hall, performing six Rachmaninoff songs with tenor Ben Heppner, and has made television appearances with Mstislav Rostropovich.
