I'm officially done with solo and chamber music performances for 2012. The last was the Long Ridge Music Center's faculty recitals on December 7th. Thanks to my fantastic colleagues and staff at LRMC and of course, the audience, I had a great end to the year 2012. This was taken between the two recitals:
I love playing at LRMC faculty recitals. As you can see in the photo, there is a good variety of music genre; from classical to jazz, pop and rock. It has an intimate atmosphere and I love hearing my colleagues play. They are so talented and inspiring. And not only that, they are super nice!
Special thanks to two awesome pianists, Benjamin Steinhardt and Jeb Dennis; I really enjoyed working with both of them. And I'm so lucky, we will continue our journeys; Stravinsky and Ravel recital project, Franck and Brahms sonatas with Benjamin, and the rest of the Grieg sonata, Beethoven A major sonata and many more with Jeb.

With new and continuing collaborations with musicians, I got to perform a lot of solo and chamber music in 2012. Many many thanks to those musicians! I'm looking forward to more collaborations next year.
As always, I'd like to send my thanks to all who came to the concerts. Now it's our LRMC students' turn to perform in student recitals this Sunday!
