Our three regular concerts throughout May were characterized by a large number of talented piano performances. Among these piano performers were the students of the wonderful piano teacher
Hanni Zhang, including her son, Eason Han, who performed at our Raphael House concert on May 24th. Zhang's students are only in elementary school and therefore cannot earn SSL hours, yet they still bring much talent and energy to our concerts, being there simply for the sake of performing. We are incredibly appreciative of her support of our concerts.
Additionally, we had two amazing performances from two brothers, Noah and Alexander Cochrane. Alexander delivered a great performance of Gavotte by Lully on the violin. On the other hand, Noah showcased his skills on the harmonica with a performance of You Are My Sunshine, and What A Wonderful World. We adore the energy and singularity of the harmonica, a unique instrument that has yet to appear at our concerts until now. It is also known as the French harp or mouth organ and is a free reed wind instrument used in a wide array of genres, including blues, jazz, folk, country, rock, and classical. We are glad to see this distinctive instrument appear at our concerts!
Another notable performance in May was a young singer who performed at our Bartholomew House concert on May 17th. 9th grader Nyah Magsino performed her cover of two songs, She Used To Be Mine by Sara Bareilles, as well as the iconic Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend as performed by Marilyn Monroe in the classic movie, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. We applaud Nyah for her amazing performance and are hopeful for even more of the vocal instrument from our performers!
