A while back I had been interviewed by L’Atelier Grigorian, a chain of classical music CD stores in Canada. They are a great organization that promotes classical musicians both in music sales, concerts and now press inteviews. Liz Coulson approached me with a few candid questions for their “New Artist Feature”. I had fun answering the questions, as they were not typical questions. It’s funny now looking at some of my answers, which seem a bit childish...but hey, a lot of the questions made me look back on my childhood! Plus, I haven’t really ever “grown up”, so this is what you get.

ps. for those of you who care...GO RIDERS!!! I am going to the Grey Cup to cheer them on.
Anyone who dares to play Beethoven's last Piano Sonata Opus 111 must be fearless and confident in his skills. In the case of Thomas Yu, both are true...[He] plays the piece with elegance and depth...and his interpretation was the highlight of the festival day.
