ANDRE WATTS made his debut at the age of sixteen with the New York Philharmonic. His first appearance in Ann Arbor in September, 1969, was with the same orchestra, performing Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3. This young American pianist's career has been phenomenal, placing him among the most in demand of the world's young pianists. His early training began in Philadelphia, continued at Peabody in Baltimore as a student of Leon Fleisher.
