2013-14 Finale Concert
of Young Chamber Musicians
The Young Chamber Musicians 2013-14 Season finally drew to a close on May 17, 2014, and with it, a fantastic year of music-making with Elena and Young-Hye. To send us off, a finale concert was held at the studio of Rena Ling in Hillsborough, California. I finally met up with the other YCM chamber groups, and we played all the repertoire we'd learned over the year! It was a a fantastic grand finale to a unforgettable season. We had tons of fun, and I can't wait to do it again this coming year!

Now the concert is over ..
It was a long night and we were all hungry. Luckily our gracious hosts provided two meals; one before the concert, and one afterwards! |
Chatting with other friends. I'd met many of them at Music@Menlo, so it was a great surprise to see them again here. |
But we weren't done yet ....
They convinced me to join their impromptu sight reading of a Beethoven piece! He didn't actually write the piano part as 4 hands...
I replaced the complicated arpeggios with decidedly less-graceful glissandos. |
Hey, glissandos sound cooler than arpeggios anyways! Right? |
