Life is art, and art is an expression of life itself. As a form of art, music captures the essence of life’s ebbs and flows. It is a powerful medium where we express our deepest emotions. As we experience music, we are moved to feel the greatest love, joy, healing and inspiration, and even to anguish, deep sadness and tears.  At its pinnacle, music flies us to an imaginary land where our dreams come true, transforming our distant fantasies into realities.  It also possesses the power to connect us together as one. It gives us hope of a brighter future where boundaries fade and cultures no longer separates, where the world melts together as we embrace each other as one.

I have been searching for magic all my life, and I have found it in the world of classical music. Now I desire to practice, cultivate, and share this magic as widely and as often as I can.  So I extend to you a very warm invitation to come and join me in this wondrous journey, where the borders of reality and imagination blur, and where the transformative power of music unveils itself to those who are willing to embrace it.

“The Mazurka exhibited excellent tempo control and featured a broad tonal palette that conveyed a rustic and folk-inspired quality. After the performance of the Mazurka, three preludes from Op. 28 followed. Each of them was skillfully executed, with a notable technical display and well-judged tempos. The melodic lines were beautifully delineated.”
