This is my June performance (I have been busy) at the Chopin Competition Winners' Recital in Beverly Hills. I won first place with distinction, with an opportunity to perform several times in this upcoming season, including in Poland. I love the pianos at the Steinway Piano Gallery, they are so responsive to the dynamic range which help me express this wonderful, intense Nocturne. I hope you en...

On April 4, 2024, I had the privilege of playing with the Classical Saxophone Project Orchestra at the the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York City. It was an amazing experience and I learned so much working with Maestro Jean-Pierre Schmitt. I never thought I would have another opportunity to play another Bach Concerto until college. I was also inspired by the new compositions We will Not Forget ...

I loved this Bach Partita 2 when I was 9, and it was worth waiting almost 3 years to play it again (due to competition circuit repertoire selection). You can hear my entire selection at the Bach Festival in September this year, but I wanted to share with one of my favorite dances, the Rondeau. It's short, but has so much fun character. It sounds like a field of bunnies just being delighted with...

I won 1st place in our district's scholarship competition and was invited to perform at the Pickwick Gardens. The room and piano were beautiful. While this performance is not note-perfect, I am very happy with the room and sound! Thank you to all my friends and family who came out to listen to me.

Franz Schubert wrote two sets of Impromptus. Op90, with the famous E-flat No2 were published in the composer's lifetime. Op 142, was published posthumously. It may have been a continuation of Op 90, as Schubert originally labeled them No 5-8. I'm playing the 4th Impromptu, in f minor, the most technically demanding of the 8. Go big or go home!!! There are a lot of hemiola effects, modulations, ...

My bunny and I hope 2023 will be a good one (filled with treats)!

Happy holidays! I wanted to upload something for Rebecca, the librarian since she shows everyone my channel at the library. She's the OG, even though sometimes I'm awkward. This is Danza de la moza donosa from Ginastera's Danzas Argentinas, Op. 2 It is the dance of the graceful girl. It's a work in progress, but I hope you like it.

La Mirada was kind enough to release their recordings which had a microphone inside the piano and also some shots of me at different angles. I'm so happy to hear it again! Now to work on another Concerto hm, which one will it be..... ;)

This is my performance of the Fugue from JS Bach's WTC I at the Southern California Junior Bach Festival (www.scjbf.org/) This is one of the longest and most complext Fugues, with 39 strettos. Like the Prelude, it ends on a pedal point. I added for both the Prelude and Fugue my own Baroque ornamentation at the very end. The Mason and Hamlin piano had a harpsichord-like sound quality and was a v...

This is the Prelude from JS Bach's WTC I. It's in a minor. Bach wrote two complete books of Preludes and Fugues in all 24 major and minor keys. I heard a recording by Sviatoslav Richter when I was 6 and I wanted to play it! I waited 4 years and now I can hold all the octaves. The special thing about this Prelude and Fugue is that it uses a pedal point, which is a long sustained note that's supp...

I had a great time learning a short Schubert with my new friend John at summer camp! We only had 1 week to learn and rehearse this (with just 1 lesson with a teacher), so I am learning how quickly professional musicians have to work.

On May 22, 2022, I had the privilege of playing with the La Mirada Symphony. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. I had wanted to play this Bach d minor Concerto ever since I heard it when I was 7 years old. In 2020, I won the MTAC Concerto competition and was scheduled to perform this. However, a worldwide pandemic closed all performances and for 2 years I was not sure if ...

Haydn wrote over 50 piano sonatas during his life, but only 7 of them are in minor keys, written towards the end of his life. The e minor Sonata was written for either the harpsichord or fortepiano, and the beginning movement is set at Presto, which is very odd for Haydn. The melody flies up and down in the Exposition, but has a lot of rests and stops, as if Haydn is joking (as he does) and giv...
