MEDICAL SABBATICAL In December of 2005 Loescher clarified rumors that he has simple stopped performing publicly stating in a radio interview that it was ". . . simply a time to focus on composition which for me a powerful experience that allows me to constructively question my philosophical and artistic rationales". In addition, we have learned that at the end of February of the same year the Loescher's gave premature birth to their first child. What was not discussed until January 2006 was that during that same period of time Loescher had suffered nerve damage after under going oral surgery for an undisclosed condition. He has indicated that he will make an announcement in the Spring of 2008 indicating if he will be able to return to performance.
UPDATES
WHAT TO DO WHEN ON SABBATICAL, WORK: During his medical sabbatical Loescher had been acting as the artistic director for the School of the Arts in San Diego California. Recently he was asked to take a new position of Programs Specialist of Arts, Media and Entertainment for San Diego Unified where he has been asked to develop a new series of courses for the Office College, Career & Technical Education.
LOST RECORDINGS: There have always been questions regarding the status of some of Loescher's recordings. In a 2001 interview in Chicago he stated "I like to wait on releasing recordings, sometimes for many years, until I am comfortable with them. I am like the girl that doesn't want to hand out her senior class photo for fear that everyone will see what she does, faults." This has certainly been the case with recordings like "Nocturnes", which is even rumored to be pressed and sitting in boxes. Others like the highly anticipated live recording from 2000 "One Chance For Interpretation" with Art Johnson simply fell in to contractual disarray. Exponent Records, which was acquired by PrImArts several years ago, has commented that they have at least five albums ready for pressing.
