@@mariodisarli1022 did you even listen to the livestream she goes bear feet because she feels more comfortable there because shes always bare feet at home when playing
This is the only You Tube that I caught myself applauding; The guest is an honor to watch. Thank you, Ray. She is MARVELOUS! You are a very generous artist.
If you look at the historical context, there was eating and talking etc. while the orchestra was playing. If the audience clapped hard the parts they clapped at were repeated and so on. I don't know why classical music is so stiff nowadays. It scares people away and that is kind of sad.
@@blauespony1013 because the classical music in the olden days was pop music to them. You see what people do when they go to a pop concert? Screaming jumping dancing whatever. 😉

The discussion about decorum in classical music performances is really good. I hope there will be a more collective discussion about this between musicians/artists. Times are changing and more and more young people or non-classical music heads are getting attracted to classical music and I think these things are also important to know. Thank you Sara and Ray!
@@pvandck i was wondering where i saw him here in youtube, i remember now! Oh wow. Is this the same dude in other vids comment section? I think i also saw this on khatia's vids.
In both his identities, Mario DiSarli/Georges Cancan is an obsessed troll who feels the need to trash a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer, among others. Heart of a serpent, guaranteed.
This OFFSTAGE series is AMAZING!!! Thank you Ray Chen and all your guests. One really important point comes across in this videos is breaking the stereotype of the stuck up pretentious classical musician with yourself and all your guests. Great to see all these top class soloists keeping it real and down to earth. Hopefully something some of classical music fans/RUclips commentators/redditors/trolls can learn from :)

I was fascinated with this conversation with Alice. It was only within the last year or so that I came across videos on RUclips of concerts that she has performed. I was very impressed with her great musical talent and wondered what sort of person she is. Now I know... she is a rare and priceless gem!
I am really amazed because this is the very first time that I got aware of a cough during that silence. I think this is because every time I heard this piano concerto, I was so focused on Sara’s impression so that I didn’t pay attention to anything else. This is a magic.

8 minutes in and I already have a big smile on my face and you are not even at the piano part yet (love piano and talented piano players ... and yes, I love piano more than the violin). Wow, great submissions, great suggestions. I loved all the pianists. So excellent at such a young age. I finished and I am floored. What a great live stream. I know, we live in trying times (don't want to use the c-word), but your live streams are a very good thing that came out of it. They are informative and fun and I love your boomer moves! They make everything so relatable!

Helene Grimaud is my favorite pianist, because she communicates the emotional center so well, and Sara Alice is growing on me for the same reason. Love listening to her.
Two of my favorite musicians! I always love it when musicians talk about how they can learn from other instrument. You guys should do a part 2 and reviewing Ray’s old videos lol
I luv alice sara ott..i luv how she play, feel the heart of the music...shes one of the best and beautiful pianist in the world...I'm a fan here from the Philippines...
Georges Cancan Georges Cancan vor 12 Stunden @Karl Peter &Co Dear Karl Peter Alice, ... I really have a direct relationship with classical music. The very word "classical music" carries a huge meaning. Classical music is the result of the development of human society. This is a diamond that our civilization will always be proud of. You do not need to vulgarize this diamond with bare feet (Alise Sara Ott), a demonstration of her breast (Khatia Buniatishvili) or a half-naked body (Yuja Wang). Leave classical music alone! Find yourself another entertainment that matches the size of your brain. This will be your biggest contribution to human life!
Dear Karl Peter Alice! Do you really think that the RUclips channel was created for you and the Deutsche Gramophone and for your commercial activity? You are deeply mistaken! Real lovers of classical music do not need bare feet. I have the right to talk about it anytime, anywhere. We live in a democratic society, not in North Korea or China!

Many thanks to Ray for such a big interview. Special thanks to Alice. Yes, I heard many things that she played; seems I can understand her musical tongue; she and the orchestra are always bright. Alice, you have all the musical and aethetical talents - so many thanks.
Oh man, I found this May 2020, the pandemic had barely begun, and this was cute as hell. Now it's Feb 2021, and this is even cuter! I had the pleasure of listening to Ray Chen in a concert in Lisbon, Portugal, at Gulbenkian Auditorium with Ray Chen and the Gulbenkian Orchestra. Actually, a few days before, he had been stuck in Oporto Airport for some reason and busted out his violin and played some music to pass the time and make people more comfortable. Such an awesome story. We need more of this in our lives. Please Ray, make another stream with Alice, she is wonderful, you both are. Kind regards and well done and keep at it! Love your music and your hard work!
Ray, you have a crush on Alice, but you are not alone! Her musicianship is superlative, especially now that she is playing Debussy, Satie, and Ravel. It matches her endearing personality. This visit gave us all goosebumps. lol
I love this series, Ray! Keep it going. The part where Alice talked about the silence in between movements was very enlightening. I learn something new with every episode of this series.
21:00 OMG I really wanted to keep listening to him play! Beautiful! 😍 I LOVE tarako. I miss it. Hutomaki tamago, I make it myself sometimes. That stayin alive thing is so trippy! 🤯
I"m glad that they have a dialogue in the course of giving feedback to the pianists who submitted videos, it at least potentially helps them ingest the 'recommendations' or observations, makes the 'feedback' more absorbable to them without it being threatening.
Firstly it was my first time watching both Alice and Ray in an interview and honestly no idea where the two hours flew lol. Secondly even though you both apparently know each other rather than a first time interview, Alice's positive nature is so amazing and If I was anything in her capacity to play (and not that I do) it's easy to be a diva which she chose not to and completely overlooked the total technical difficulties. I think the goofiness from Ray added to the relaxed environment as well even though a master in his own class. I know I will be watching this interview a couple of times 👍. Thirdly to all who play so beautifully thank you for what you do for us who love to hear 🙂 Classical music is so soothing especially in this crazy world we live in.

Hello Ray, I have now listened/watched to this video in full. Like I said before I had the pleasure of attending a performance with Ray Chen and the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal a few years ago. I knew little of you then, and I still do (I'm ashamed for this), but I remember how much you struck with me. Luckily I found you again on this video on RUclips in 2020, in the year of the great pandemic, and I realised how much Life (yes, capital L) owes to classical Music and people like yourself and Sara that keep it up through the centuries. Thank you for all your performances and work in these kind of streams/videos. Keep it up, please!
I've been watching videos of her playing the piano and she's seriously talented, she's also so prettyyyyyy. also, what is with this weird guy copy pasting rude comments? I literally see him in almost every Alice related videos, it's super creepy.
Check out my reply to Joseph Happ above about the trolling and sexist fool Mario DiSarli/Georges Cancan (they are one and the same person). He has been that "weird guy" for the last 10 years that I have been on the tubes; always has that creepy copy and paste obsession against young female pianists like Alice or Yuja Wang. I have not seen his trolls here yet-perhaps Ray has rightly deleted and banned him. All the best...
This was very interesting, getting the insightful views of such an accomplish pianist as Alice Sara Ott was nice…everyone has there different styles or interpretations of the Classics, if only I was a musician, an not just someone who enjoy listening..I enjoyed this, sometime we forget that even artist are real people, who are inspiration for upcoming young pianists…thank you!!
Wow, it's a piano review, and I only see the contestants' fingers!!! How does that person's play, I only see his fingers and the keys! I'm having so much fun! The violin is small compared to the piano, but the sound of the strings ringing the body is fascinating, Ray!👍🏻✨👑🎻🌞
What a great example of everything we assume to be "right" for no reason. Under what would appear as a single creative move with a transition between movements really does lie an effort to illuminate better paths forward in a sea of arbitrary traditions.

Wow, this is very cool. I had the pleasure of attending a performance with Ray Chen and the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal a few years ago and was struck with how so fresh and positive his personality was. (not to mention the excellent performance) These two really bring much positivity and freshness, I feel. And how nice it is, on this day and age, with all the technology we have, that we can have these kinds of meetings and be able to share them and partake in them. Just a few decades ago it would be reserved for a very select few. So thanks Ray and Alice for this :) I'm not a musician myself, but I imagine the feedback and comments provided to the video performers are very valuable :)
This is hard for me because I've loved classical music for a long time but also anime for a long time. I can totally imagine in my head an anime with both Alice and Ray together playing different pieces and discussing different things about music. In fact this childish image is not unlike the anime "Nodame Cantabile". Alice could SO EASILY be transferred to the cute anime stereotype (lol) but underneath so amazingly talented (like she is). Also Ray, with his asian looks but really australian way could be a n interesting twist on the anime stereotype. (Btw running a stream with a video all and also video files playing is though work, so Ray don't beat yourself up). It's so fun to have both of them so approachable in the stream but also so exquisite when playing on their won on concertos, etc. Well done.
Ray, you've redeemed yourself from your Backstage With Ray video. I can finally forgive you for dissing piano then, after all your praise and admiration in this video 🤣
Beautiful Creative Souls personified! Keep the music playing. Thank you both for sharing your Essence.🙏❤❤ Please do a livestream with my fave female violin virtuoso,Vanessa May. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the video, Ray! I’ve been a fan of Alice since a long time ago, and was deeply moved by all of the performances that have been uploaded to youtube (some have seem to be mentioned in this video as well, nice job to bring the essentials, Ray) and came across your channel after I’ve found an interest & started taking violin as seriously as I were in playing the piano. Taken that for granted, seeing the two of you, all wonderful artists, talking about music was really great and gave a huge motivation to boost my interest in both, and hope the collaboration & offstage goes on!

Ray is there any possibility you can make a video on some tips and guidelines for adults starting a violin. Or maybe for people coming from other instruments..
Each other ice cream buddies are top-ranked pianists and top-ranked soloists in the world! Just kidding, you're both fabulous, which is great to see!😆✨👍🏻🎹🎻👑🌞
Thanks for the video is very good and is also possible te learn much about music. By the way, I was today in Linz spending the day and I have read on the newspaper that on March 2021 I think the 17 th. You play a with your guest on the video Alice Sara Ott. I will check to stay there to the concert. Thanks in advance for the music.
I’m not sure if you know him personally, but James Ehnes is really nice. I was wondering if you might be interested in doing a review episode with him?
Wonderful discussion here. Thanks very much to the two of you. Ray Chen, if you look down the comments you will see a character by the name of "Mario DiSarli" (one of his RUclips accounts). This misogynist specimen stalks Alice Sara Ott in the comments of almost every video of her on RUclips. He copy/pastes his comments, always derogatory and insulting to her and everyone else. It's upsetting. He detests the idea that a woman can be a virtuoso musician. His presence always ruins the comments for everyone. Look in the replies to other commenters. Please can you do everyone a favour and block him? Thanks.

@@mariodisarli1022 why exactly are you targeting alice and not ray hmm they both have the same qualities there both cute, hot and funny and they both have a passion for music
re: asians in music vs in sports: As an east asian, ex-pianist/violinist/ballet/tap/jazz/lyrical dancer, in Canada. I've never met a dumb musician, or a dumb dancer, at the highest levels. if you have the brains for it, being slightly shorter of stature, or having smaller hands, as I do, has never stopped me from progressing in either dance or music. but a lot of the asians i find in music, tend to be more recently landed immigrant families, than those in dance. certainly less integrated. versus, dance and other organized sports are often more expensive than music. an instrument is a one-time cost, that you can sell off if things don't work out, and lessons are not usually more than a few hours a week. dance meanwhile, may seem cheap... but there's lots of consumables (shoes, tights, hair products, costumes, makeup) which tally up fast, competition fees aren't cheap, and its a significantly greater time commitment. i spent as much time at the dance studio as i did in school in my later years. practiced violin/piano very little, got by off sheer talent alone, until i couldn't and dropped them one by one. but though my first gen immigrant parents supported me in dance, because i loved tap more than the world, they always viewed music as the safer investment. "learn an instrument, and you can teach". and for girls especially, i think they see music as more classy than sports, and appearances matter sometimes, when you're a newcomer and a visible minority. So when price of admission to music, is so much lower than price of admission to organized sports. and the chances of bodily harm [falsely in my opinion] so much lower in music, than organized sports. and asians around me at least, tending to be newer families to canada, i get why music has more asians than sports. Despite that, as an athlete, and especially as a dancer, i may not be as fit as i used to be... but my mind remembers how to work out, how to be fit, how to be healthy. my body remembers everything it used to be able to do, even if it doesn't have the strength or flexibility to pull it all off anymore. and so physically, i know what it takes to get healthy, to stay healthy. people in covid are flipping out, that gyms are closed... when your body is all you need to stay in shape. and music offers all the same chronic injuries as physical sports, just in different places. so I do lament that sports are not given the same value, in society, as music.

The discussion about decorum in classical music performances is really good. I hope there will be a more collective discussion about this between musicians/artists. Times are changing and more and more young people or non-classical music heads are getting attracted to classical music and I think these things are also important to know. Thank you Sara and Ray!

She's simply an amazing artist and awesome person!
I was fascinated with this conversation with Alice. It was only within the last year or so that I came across videos on RUclips of concerts that she has performed. I was very impressed with her great musical talent and wondered what sort of person she is. Now I know... she is a rare and priceless gem!
I am really amazed because this is the very first time that I got aware of a cough during that silence. I think this is because every time I heard this piano concerto, I was so focused on Sara’s impression so that I didn’t pay attention to anything else. This is a magic.
Very enjoyable two hours. Alice is not only a great musician, but also a charming person.

@Karl Peter &Co Dear Karl Peter Alice, ... I really have a direct relationship with classical music. The very word "classical music" carries a huge meaning. Classical music is the result of the development of human society. This is a diamond that our civilization will always be proud of. You do not need to vulgarize this diamond with bare feet (Alise Sara Ott), a demonstration of her breast (Khatia Buniatishvili) or a half-naked body (Yuja Wang). Leave classical music alone! Find yourself another entertainment that matches the size of your brain. This will be your biggest contribution to human life!
Dear Karl Peter Alice! Do you really think that the RUclips channel was created for you and the Deutsche Gramophone and for your commercial activity? You are deeply mistaken! Real lovers of classical music do not need bare feet. I have the right to talk about it anytime, anywhere. We live in a democratic society, not in North Korea or China!

You do not need to vulgarize this diamond with bare feet (Alise Sara Ott), a demonstration of her breast (Khatia Buniatishvili) or a half-naked body (Yuja Wang). Leave classical music alone! Find yourself another entertainment that matches the size of your brain. This will be your biggest contribution to human life!
Many thanks to Ray for such a big interview. Special thanks to Alice. Yes, I heard many things that she played; seems I can understand her musical tongue; she and the orchestra are always bright. Alice, you have all the musical and aethetical talents - so many thanks.
This was so entertaining and a true joy to watch! Thanks for doing this interview Ray!
What a great way to spend my afternoon. Thanks so much.
Oh man, I found this May 2020, the pandemic had barely begun, and this was cute as hell. Now it's Feb 2021, and this is even cuter! I had the pleasure of listening to Ray Chen in a concert in Lisbon, Portugal, at Gulbenkian Auditorium with Ray Chen and the Gulbenkian Orchestra. Actually, a few days before, he had been stuck in Oporto Airport for some reason and busted out his violin and played some music to pass the time and make people more comfortable. Such an awesome story. We need more of this in our lives. Please Ray, make another stream with Alice, she is wonderful, you both are. Kind regards and well done and keep at it! Love your music and your hard work!
Alice is so cool! You can tell by the way she moves while listening she's playing along in her head.
would like to see her again ❤️❤️
How lovely you guys are. Thank you so much 😊.
Wonderful video......Alice and Ray are lovely and charming 🙆♀️🙆♂️❣️💕❤️
"While the cooks learned to control the piano, the state ran out of food!" Mao Dzedong
She is such a wonderful person
Ray, you have a crush on Alice, but you are not alone! Her musicianship is superlative, especially now that she is playing Debussy, Satie, and Ravel. It matches her endearing personality. This visit gave us all goosebumps. lol
I love this series, Ray! Keep it going. The part where Alice talked about the silence in between movements was very enlightening. I learn something new with every episode of this series.
21:00 OMG I really wanted to keep listening to him play! Beautiful! 😍
I LOVE tarako. I miss it. Hutomaki tamago, I make it myself sometimes.
That stayin alive thing is so trippy! 🤯
Please Ray, never let these lifestreams end🎤👏🎹👍🎻 So many interesting artists and you in the middle💞
I"m glad that they have a dialogue in the course of giving feedback to the pianists who submitted videos, it at least potentially helps them ingest the 'recommendations' or observations, makes the 'feedback' more absorbable to them without it being threatening.
Firstly it was my first time watching both Alice and Ray in an interview and honestly no idea where the two hours flew lol. Secondly even though you both apparently know each other rather than a first time interview, Alice's positive nature is so amazing and If I was anything in her capacity to play (and not that I do) it's easy to be a diva which she chose not to and completely overlooked the total technical difficulties. I think the goofiness from Ray added to the relaxed environment as well even though a master in his own class. I know I will be watching this interview a couple of times 👍. Thirdly to all who play so beautifully thank you for what you do for us who love to hear 🙂 Classical music is so soothing especially in this crazy world we live in.
Alice is amazing! Saw her live at Hollywood Bowl a few years ago!
😭 I'm so envious
Alice is magic! Thank you
Both Ray and Alice are my favorite musician, great show, loved it!

Overview
European art music is largely distinguished from many other non-European classical and some popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 11th century.[2][3] Catholic monks developed the first forms of modern European musical notation in order to standardize liturgy throughout the worldwide Church. Western staff notation is used by composers to indicate to the performer the pitches and durations for a piece of music.[2] In contrast to most popular styles that adopted the song (strophic) form or a derivation of this form, classical music has been noted for its development of highly sophisticated forms of instrumental music such as the symphony, concerto, fugue, sonata, and mixed vocal and instrumental styles such as opera, cantata, and mass.[4] Alongside traditional musical attributes, Classical music is conscientious about drawing from and re-purposing its formal and social tradition with forms such as the Mass evolving and communicating through over a thousand years.[5]
The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to distinctly canonize the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Ludwig van Beethoven as a golden age.[6] The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1829.[1][7]"
Feels bad to see such a great personality, cute, grounded & talented pianist having a multiple sclerosis. Wish her good health & recovery.
Hello Ray, I have now listened/watched to this video in full. Like I said before I had the pleasure of attending a performance with Ray Chen and the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal a few years ago. I knew little of you then, and I still do (I'm ashamed for this), but I remember how much you struck with me. Luckily I found you again on this video on RUclips in 2020, in the year of the great pandemic, and I realised how much Life (yes, capital L) owes to classical Music and people like yourself and Sara that keep it up through the centuries. Thank you for all your performances and work in these kind of streams/videos. Keep it up, please!
I've been watching videos of her playing the piano and she's seriously talented, she's also so prettyyyyyy.
also, what is with this weird guy copy pasting rude comments? I literally see him in almost every Alice related videos, it's super creepy.
Check out my reply to Joseph Happ above about the trolling and sexist fool Mario DiSarli/Georges Cancan (they are one and the same person). He has been that "weird guy" for the last 10 years that I have been on the tubes; always has that creepy copy and paste obsession against young female pianists like Alice or Yuja Wang. I have not seen his trolls here yet-perhaps Ray has rightly deleted and banned him. All the best...
This was very interesting, getting the insightful views of such an accomplish pianist as Alice Sara Ott was nice…everyone has there different styles or interpretations of the Classics, if only I was a musician, an not just someone who enjoy listening..I enjoyed this, sometime we forget that even artist are real people, who are inspiration for upcoming young pianists…thank you!!
i agree :)
She seems so pure... wow..
What a beautiful person!!! I'd wish to be her friend!
her very first smile had melted me already :)
Wow, it's a piano review, and I only see the contestants' fingers!!! How does that person's play, I only see his fingers and the keys! I'm having so much fun! The violin is small compared to the piano, but the sound of the strings ringing the body is fascinating, Ray!👍🏻✨👑🎻🌞
What a great example of everything we assume to be "right" for no reason.
Under what would appear as a single creative move with a transition between movements really does lie an effort to illuminate better paths forward in a sea of arbitrary traditions.
Really got going once Ray relaxed a bit. Both of you really interesting people. And you both now have another fan.
Ray instead of saying he accidentally put in echo in the videos, could have said the young pianists used too much pedal.
“She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed; and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets the eye.”

You do not need to vulgarize this diamond with bare feet (Alise Sara Ott), a demonstration of her breast (Khatia Buniatishvili) or a half-naked body (Yuja Wang). Leave classical music alone!

so funny and relaxing, Alice is adorable
Wow, this is very cool. I had the pleasure of attending a performance with Ray Chen and the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal a few years ago and was struck with how so fresh and positive his personality was. (not to mention the excellent performance) These two really bring much positivity and freshness, I feel. And how nice it is, on this day and age, with all the technology we have, that we can have these kinds of meetings and be able to share them and partake in them. Just a few decades ago it would be reserved for a very select few. So thanks Ray and Alice for this :) I'm not a musician myself, but I imagine the feedback and comments provided to the video performers are very valuable :)
Amazing live as usual 🧡
This is hard for me because I've loved classical music for a long time but also anime for a long time. I can totally imagine in my head an anime with both Alice and Ray together playing different pieces and discussing different things about music. In fact this childish image is not unlike the anime "Nodame Cantabile". Alice could SO EASILY be transferred to the cute anime stereotype (lol) but underneath so amazingly talented (like she is). Also Ray, with his asian looks but really australian way could be a n interesting twist on the anime stereotype. (Btw running a stream with a video all and also video files playing is though work, so Ray don't beat yourself up).
It's so fun to have both of them so approachable in the stream but also so exquisite when playing on their won on concertos, etc. Well done.
lol
Ray, you've redeemed yourself from your Backstage With Ray video. I can finally forgive you for dissing piano then, after all your praise and admiration in this video 🤣
whoaaaaa 2 of my favorites!! what a day!:)
Beautiful Creative Souls personified! Keep the music playing. Thank you both for sharing your Essence.🙏❤❤
Please do a livestream with my fave female violin virtuoso,Vanessa May. Thank you.
26:57 What you wearing underneath Ray?
Thank you so much for the video, Ray! I’ve been a fan of Alice since a long time ago, and was deeply moved by all of the performances that have been uploaded to youtube (some have seem to be mentioned in this video as well, nice job to bring the essentials, Ray) and came across your channel after I’ve found an interest & started taking violin as seriously as I were in playing the piano. Taken that for granted, seeing the two of you, all wonderful artists, talking about music was really great and gave a huge motivation to boost my interest in both, and hope the collaboration & offstage goes on!

Wonderful discussion here. Thanks very much to the two of you.
Ray Chen, if you look down the comments you will see a character by the name of "Mario DiSarli" (one of his RUclips accounts). This misogynist specimen stalks Alice Sara Ott in the comments of almost every video of her on RUclips. He copy/pastes his comments, always derogatory and insulting to her and everyone else. It's upsetting. He detests the idea that a woman can be a virtuoso musician. His presence always ruins the comments for everyone.
Look in the replies to other commenters. Please can you do everyone a favour and block him? Thanks.

re: asians in music vs in sports:
As an east asian, ex-pianist/violinist/ballet/tap/jazz/lyrical dancer, in Canada. I've never met a dumb musician, or a dumb dancer, at the highest levels. if you have the brains for it, being slightly shorter of stature, or having smaller hands, as I do, has never stopped me from progressing in either dance or music. but a lot of the asians i find in music, tend to be more recently landed immigrant families, than those in dance. certainly less integrated. versus, dance and other organized sports are often more expensive than music. an instrument is a one-time cost, that you can sell off if things don't work out, and lessons are not usually more than a few hours a week. dance meanwhile, may seem cheap... but there's lots of consumables (shoes, tights, hair products, costumes, makeup) which tally up fast, competition fees aren't cheap, and its a significantly greater time commitment. i spent as much time at the dance studio as i did in school in my later years. practiced violin/piano very little, got by off sheer talent alone, until i couldn't and dropped them one by one. but though my first gen immigrant parents supported me in dance, because i loved tap more than the world, they always viewed music as the safer investment. "learn an instrument, and you can teach". and for girls especially, i think they see music as more classy than sports, and appearances matter sometimes, when you're a newcomer and a visible minority.
So when price of admission to music, is so much lower than price of admission to organized sports. and the chances of bodily harm [falsely in my opinion] so much lower in music, than organized sports. and asians around me at least, tending to be newer families to canada, i get why music has more asians than sports.
Despite that, as an athlete, and especially as a dancer, i may not be as fit as i used to be... but my mind remembers how to work out, how to be fit, how to be healthy. my body remembers everything it used to be able to do, even if it doesn't have the strength or flexibility to pull it all off anymore. and so physically, i know what it takes to get healthy, to stay healthy. people in covid are flipping out, that gyms are closed... when your body is all you need to stay in shape. and music offers all the same chronic injuries as physical sports, just in different places. so I do lament that sports are not given the same value, in society, as music.
