George Lopez has been featured across the globe as recitalist, soloist with orchestra, and collaborator. He received critical acclaim for his interpretation of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and has performed the complete cycle of Beethoven piano concertos in his last two concert seasons. He was invited by the Holland Music Sessions, now one of the top performing arenas for up-and-coming musicians in Europe, to go on a world tour for which he performed in Paris, London, Cologne, New York's Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, and Los Angeles, where he was hailed by the L.A. Times for his "...musical perspective, continuity, and kaleidoscopic colors." He has also performed Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" to a capacity crowd with the New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra. Last November he gave recitals in Switzerland and Holland and just this October played Chopin's First Piano Concerto.

He has premiered a piano concerto especially written for him by Romeo Melloni, an Italian composer from Milan, which he recorded with the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra in Prague with Maestro Paul Polivnick. He has just returned from a successful West Coast tour where he performed solo and chamber music concerts, as well as master classes in San Jose, Seattle, and San Francisco. In 2009 he performed at Brown University with renowned American composer David Amram for a week-long residency there, and his recent tour of chamber music concerts and master classes in Australia has already garnered a re-invitation to the festival there.
