HO-HO-HO! Merry Christmas!

It wouldn't really be Christmas without Christmas music! I hope you’ll love this festive musical treat which includes a few seasonal favourites:

  • It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

  • O Christmas Tree

  • O Come, All Ye Faithful

  • O Holy Night!

  • Silent Night (piano duet version arr. Jonathan Scott, performed by Greenies Piano Duo)

PERCY BRIER Serenade for Viola and Piano

In 2016, I developed an interest in creating score editions when I took a course called “Sources and Editions” at Queensland Conservatorium. At that time, I created a critical edition based on the manuscript of Serenade for Viola and Piano by Australian composer Percy Brier. I was glad that Peter Roennfeldt invited Timothy Tate and me to contribute our work to produce the final version for publication. After a long wait of six years, it’s finally published by Wirripang (available here)!

Performing Again!

The surgery for my finger was successful and I’m playing the piano again! It’s not fully healed yet and it still needs several more months to return to my level, but I’m already able to play some not-too-virtuosic pieces.

I feel so glad to be invited to participate in a student concert on New Year’s Eve 2019. I’ll perform two B-minor works: Brahms’s Rhapsody in B Minor, Op. 79 No. 1 and Franck’s Prelude, Fugue et Variation, Op. 18 (transcribed by Harold Bauer).
