March 2009
I just received the video postings from my friend and fellow pianist, Christopher Shih. We performed the Poulenc Double Concerto back in November 2008 with the Newton Symphony. Check out the following links. We also hammed it up with a version of the Brasiliera from Scaramouche, as well as a very special birthday sing-along with the audience for our birthday boy, Chris. Again, I have a recap of the experience in a previous blog (http://www.thomasyu.ca/page/blog-post/boston-la-wrap-up/). Hope you like it.

In music of Debussy, Chopin and Schumann...he played like a pro, giving clean, flowing, atmospheric performances that displayed confidence and musical know-how.
