   This June fans of Johnoscar have cause to celebrate as the concert pianist   
   releases his new album: Cinema Paradiso, A Night At The Movies. This is   
   Johnoscar's second independent release and the follow-up to his 2013 album   
   "Christmas,"which has scored    
   solid five stars with every review. The Filipino born resident of the San   
   Francisco Bay Area will premiere his album in live performance, and in its   
   entirety, at the restored and historic Rio Grand Movie Theater in New Mexico   
   June 23--the date of its    
   release.   
      
   The Cinema Paradiso program features arrangements and interpretations of some   
   of the greatest film music ever composed from some of the greatest films ever   
   made including Cinema Paradiso, The Mission and Modern Times. It covers a span   
   of almost 100 years    
   of film music and includes some of the pianist's signature pieces such as   
   Somewhere In Time, Warsaw Concerto and the piano score from Schindler's List   
   John Williams penned for Johnoscar while he was still a student at Juilliard.   
   Johnoscar's    
   interpretations and performances become the common thread tying these pieces   
   together into a cohesive whole and endows this body of work with emotion,   
   development and meaning. "The album tell a story," says Johnoscar, "an entire   
   civilization's story--by    
   using music to trigger the power of film." The album's performances utilized   
   the rich sound of a 100 year old Steinway in a state of the art recording   
   studio.   
      
   Johnoscar has performed as a soloist, and as a soloist with orchestras, on   
   three continents including a head of state and an appearance at the Verbier   
   Festival in Switzerland. He debuted as a soloist with The San Francisco   
   Symphony at 17 performing    
   Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto and has appeared in many of the great   
   concert halls around the world. Some highlights include Carnegie Hall, Avery   
   Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Davies Hall, Herbst Theater at the San   
   Francisco War Memorial, The    
   Royal Palace in Brussels and the Paris Conservatory with Joshua Bell. He has   
   worked with IMG Artists and has been contracted to Sony Classical. He is   
   currently represented by Brant-Muzik Management. Johnoscar has appeared   
   consistently on the Juilliard    
   annual list of notable alumni.
