December 18, 2017

Mr. David Moran of The Boston Musical Intelligencer mentioned the following names, among others (Larry Weng, Eric Lu, Artur Haftman, Han Chen, Alexandar Korsantia, and Victor Rosenbaum), at his section of the “Recalling the Passing Musical Year. ” He said: “For this 2017 all-star listing, I’m calling for fantasy league keyboards. To that end I have created three greatest-hits recitals, with substantial encores, everything naturally selected from my standout memories.”

NOTE: Both Larry, Eric, and Artur were alumna of the Chinese Foundation Music Festival at Walnut Hill. Both Rosenbaum and Korsantia are faculty members at the Festival.  All above concerts were performed during 2017 festival at Walnut Hill, except Mr. Rosenbaum's that was at Jordan Hall celebrating his 50th  years teaching at NEC.
DATES of the 2018 festival are July 19 - August 12, 2018. Concerto 2018: Schumann Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54.  Final concert with Mercury Orchestra, Channing Yu conductor, will be at Harvard Sanders on August 12, with the winner of the 2018 concerto competition as the soloist.

Happy Holidays,

Cathy Chan
