2014 Mondavi Center National Young Artist Competition Winner Concert
The winner concert of the 2014 Mondavi Center National Young Artists Competition was held on March 2, 20014, Sunday at the state-of-the-art Jackson Hall in the Mondavi Center for Performing Arts in UC Davis, California.
I played works by Beethoven and Kapustin as the winner of the Young Artists Pianists Prize.
I also accompanied my brother Robert at the concert.
Robert and I were the winners of the Bouchaine Young Artists Prize, Festival del Sole Napa.
We played "Carmen Fantasy" by Sarasate.
It was great fun!
