lived in Spain for five years after his studies and was the first foreign concert guitarist to be invited to tour there by a concert agency. Leonard Bernstein noticed him and encouraged him to arrange his music for the guitar. With this program, Lucian Plessner performed worldwide from Hong Kong to San Francisco. He developed his Spanish concert repertoire with the pianist Alicia de Larrocha, gave a concert for Yehudi Menuhin and made several guest appearances with Klaus Maria Brandauer. With the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra he performed his arrangement Suite from West Side Story for the Leonard Bernstein anniversary year 2018/19, which was created at the suggestion of the Leonard Bernstein Office NYC. In the last two years, Lucian Plessner has made repeated guest appearances in Istanbul, Mexico City and the USA.
