3rd@1st Concert series in Pasadena, CA 10/20/14

October 19, 2014

We started a new concert series “Third at First” at FUMC Pasadena, California. As you see from the naming, each concert will be presented every month on the Third Saturday at 4pm at First United Methodist Church in Pasadena. We had a first concert performed by an exceptional organist, Ty Woodward on October 18. His organ performance was an eye-opening to us. His tone was so colorful and creative! I will be on the next concert, Saturday November 15 at 4pm. The theme will be “Clara Schumann and her contribution in 19th Century Music” and the program will include Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet (Jin-Shan Dai and Johnny Lee, violins, Michael Larco, viola, and David Garrett, cello), Robert Schumann’s Adagio and Allegro for cello and piano, Mendelssohn’s Cello Sonata, and Clara’s solo piano work “Scherzo”. Clara Schumann is my ongoing project, and I am looking forward to performing with my wonderful colleagues. Please visit at www.thirdatfirst.org.
