Clarinetist Marian Liebowitz, winner of the U.S. State Department/Kennedy Center 1997 Artistic Ambassador Competition, represented the United States in Latin America that year by performing a month-long tour to seven countries. In subsequent years, Dr. Liebowitz has toured throughout Latin America under the auspices of various embassies performing concerts and offering classes in arts management, wind instruments, or chamber music. In 2008 she performed a similar tour to the Phillipines. She has toured in the U.S. to Utah, Oregon, Tennessee, Colorado, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas and statewide throughout California accompanied by pianist Richard Thompson. Dr. Liebowitz is one of a small number of wind soloists ever to be selected for the California Arts Council Touring Artists Roster. In past seasons, she performed concertos with the Maracaibo Symphony (Venezuela), the San Diego Symphony, the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, the Monteux Festival Orchestra, and the New Mexico Music Festival Orchestra. She is former Principal Clarinetist of the San Diego Chamber Orchestra and has appeared in such prestigious festivals as the La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest, the San Luis Obisbo Mozart Festival, the Mainly Mozart Festival, the Sacramento Festival of New American Music, and the Colorado Music Festival. She is former Executive Director and clarinetist of the Arioso Wind Quintet, with whom she recorded three CDs on the KOCH International label and toured extensively throughout the United States.
Dr. Liebowitz was named to the campus “Top 25” list for 1999 at San Diego State University and recipient of the 2000 CSU Bautzer Faculty Award for excellence in fundraising. At San Diego State she teaches studio clarinet, conducts “Woodworks: The SDSU Clarinet Choir”, and offers “Professional Orientation for Music Performers”, a popular seminar for music majors. In 1991, Dr. Liebowitz created the SDSU Adams’ Project Performers Network, an innovative professional training program for soloists and small ensembles in music. Under these auspices, students have performed professionally throughout California since 1992 and internationally since 1998. In addition to her arts administration workshops abroad, Liebowitz has guest lectured on the Business of Music throughout the United States.
