Scars and Scrapes Forever!

I first heard of this piece on youtube played by a good friend and classmate from college. I wanted to play this since last year. When I began to put together my recital in early March 2013, I decided to include this fun and funny piece~ Thank you Christine for the amazing piano playing~

Married Life from UP

When I first put together my recital in early March 2013, one of the pieces that I really wanna play is Married Life from the movie UP. Not only because it has a great piccolo solo in it, but also a beautiful movie soundtrack! This time, I arranged it for piccolo, violin and piano. Thank you Lorraine for helping out with the violin part and Christine for the piano part! :)

HK Flute Quartet Interview

We were interviewed by iCable Financial Info Channel because we performed at APM during the x'mas season. We were asked about how we did financially in 2007 in comparison to 2006. Just to clarify something here... I only said in the interview that "the money I made in 2007 should be enough to invest on a $100,000HKD flute"... but I never said I'm going to buy one yet!

Highlight from Burton Sonatina

This is my first performance after I relocated back to Hong Kong in 2007. Irene Chan was my pianist. I noticed that I was quite out of tune because of my old Pearl flute. This took place at the Parsons Music Annual Gala.

Le Merle Blanc by Damare

This is taken from my student recital in 2011. The performance idea was inspired by the great piccoloist Claude-Louis Beaumadier. The piccolo is a Guo New Voice piccolo. Thanks to Christine Cheng for the piano accompaniment.
