Yu-chen Chen (陳宇辰), Bravo!

This afternoon, at my aunt Lily's invitation, I went to Chen, Yu-chen's violin recital at National Taipei University of Education with two junior high school friends. I was enthralled by Yu-chen's performance. In fact, months ago, I heard him play H. W. Ernst's "Die letzte Rose (夏日最後的玫瑰)" at a violin concerto and was very impressed. Today, he played for nearly three hours and it was really fascinating.

Yu-chen has been playing the violin for 10 years, and that's why the first sentence in his acknowledgement says, "What can be accompished in ten years?"

P.S. The photo below was made by Xuei-shu with the pictures taken during lunch after attending a mutual friend's father's funeral.



 

What follows is a video of Sarah Chang, a violinist from South Korea, playing J. Sibelius' Violin Conerto in d minor, Op. 47, 1st Mov, which was the last piece of music Yu-chen played today. Amazing skills! By keeping up with his good work, Yu-chen will be on the world stage one day.
