November, 2010

I finally put together a video taken last summer during the 2010 Pianestival in Nice. This is a performance of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Dukas with Christopher Shih. A few months earlier in Baltimore we had a weekend to rehearse, but that was it. At the festival we had just the morning of the concert to practice together. To complicate things, I ended up being late for our morning rehearsal due to transportation issues! It was a hurried preparation but the end result was still a great performance and a really fun time. I always enjoy the chance to play with Chris, who is one of the best amateur pianists I know. The video is edited primarily for YouTube editing purposes.

Enjoy!
