Ann and Ron's April Flowers Afternoon Piano Concert

Welcome to our Glen Park home for a relaxing and inspirational spring concert by an amazing pianist and creative artist originally from Hong Kong, Tin Yi Chelsea Wong. We were so happy recently to meet her, introduce our warm-toned Steinway M "The Duchess," and hear her play one of the romantic compositions ("Le Tombeau de Couperin" by Ravel) from her proposed program. She's a Masters level 2018 graduate of the San Francisco Conservative of Music and a popular and busy local piano teacher and concert performer of both modern and traditional classical music. Of particular note in her tentative program which includes a Brahms-Bach Chaconne for LH and a Liszt Ballade, is one of Ann's all-time favorite compositions, the gorgeous "Widmung" by R. Schumann, written as a present for his talented pianist wife, Clara. Chelsea told us that she first heard the piece in Salzburg in one of her professor’s masterclasses, and that "hearing her teach this piece brought me to tears and I’ve lived with the piece for 7 years now." Chelsea loves to talk about the history and special features of each piece, and will join us for light refreshments and to answer questions afterwards. We hope to see you soon. Think spring, wear a flower in your hair or lapel if you dare, and join us! (N.B. all guests will have a seat; we have three senior cats who live with us but they will be confined upstairs and our performance and refreshment rooms will be appropriately well cleaned).
