ENTREPRENEUR
FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF:
LAS VEGAS PIANO SHOWCASE
Every last week of December for the past three years since its inauguration, the young pianists of Las Vegas put together a showcase consisting of both solo and ensemble pieces in the form of four-hands, one piano or two pianos, and eight-hands, one or two pianos, and more. In hopes to connect with the audience better, the pianists weave a narrative to their pieces so that listeners may be able to dive into the realm in which the performers create.
Annually-run classical concert series in Las Vegas featuring the talents and musicianship of native Las Vegas pianists who are currently studying and pursuing a music career.
Visit my PERFORMANCES for more information on the next Las Vegas Piano Showcase concert!
LAS VEGAS MASTER CLASS SERIES
LVMCS invites world-renowned pedagogues and musicians to work with students in the Las Vegas area in a public setting so that anyone from all backgrounds may come watch and learn to appreciate the intricacies of interpretation in classical music.
Each master class is paired with a solo recital given by the guest artist, and between the two events is a light reception. As a highlight of the evening, one exceptional student will be invited personally by the guest artist to open their recital!
LVMCS was launched in the fall of 2016 and has already garnered interests and appreciation from many students, parents, and the community in general. The 2016-17 season included invitations of guest artists Kevin Ahfat, Michelle Cann, and Dr. Lisa Yui.
Visit lvmcs.org in Fall 2017 for more information about the 2017-18 season.
