Drake just returned from London where he booked recitals for summer 2002. Each year he takes time during the summer months to travel, study and perform solo recitals, often in Europe. For his Logan recital he will include three selections by Bach since March is the anniversary month of the composer's birth. Drake said the piece is very exciting and energetic and many will recognize the selection. Drake's recital will run approximately one hour.
