I know I just posted a video of Carmen Fantasy not even two months ago, but I really like the acoustics in this place! Big thanks to Emily Chen for stepping in to play with me.

Here are two really cool pieces I played as a part of Vancouver Chamber Players with my friend and colleague Karen Lee-Morlang on the piano. Again, it’s a home camcorder quality, but even that seems to be getting better these days!

P. de Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy

P. Tchaikovsky: Valse-Scherzo

Here we go – New Year, new recording! For me at least. Actually I recorded this on December 3rd of last year, but with all the craziness I’ve just had time to listen to the recordings and post them here. Keep reading for some observations on this one. (or for a non-Flash player)

Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!

Here are some videos from my student recital that happened on December 15th, 2013. I decided to post some videos because I’m really proud of these guys! A few years ago they were playing little Vivaldi concertos and now they can already tackle some great rep. Keep it up!

Jack Zhang (14) – Beethoven “Kreutzer” Sonata

Andy Park (14) – Mendelssohn Concerto

Jason Yi (12) – Bruch Concerto

Joanne Park, 11, wins the 2013 Gold Medal for Grade 6 Violin in British Columbia. Way to go Joanne!
(Gold Medals are awarded each academic year, September 1 to August 31, by province or region, to candidates who have obtained the highest mark for practical examinations in each discipline, from the Preparatory Level through to the ARCT Level.)

Half way there! (well, not really if you consider the Chaconne and the C major fugue are yet to be tackled, but a little encouragement never hurt anybody….) This was a hard one, but I think I learned a lot about both playing and recording. So I plan to do way better with the next one (just for the record). Keep reading for some observations and to find out what (I think!) I learned. (or for a non-Flash player)
