Dear Friends and Music Supporters,
It has been a super full summer for me.
I have designed and hosted a month long of FAIM Co-Creation Music Festival at the FaceArt Institute of Music I founded with Juilliard pianist Piotr Tomasz in Shanghai 9 years ago, where we invited AMAZING faculty such as piano pedagogues Dr. Solomon Mikowsky, Prof. Inesa Synkevich, Prof. Yoonie Han, composers Sam Wu and Dr. Antonio Juan Marcos, alongside FAIM’s all-star faculty members James Brawn, Jacob Charles, Edit-Maria Lenghel, Dr. Oliver Salonga and Piotr Tomasz. We co-created, composed for film music, and played 4-hands and 6-hands together. There was even a performance of the most ancient Chinese instrument Gu Qin by our new faculty, American composer Jacob Charles. The impact was grand!
I’ll share some videos of the festival at the end of the email.
