How great it was to be in Utah this past week performing and teaching at the Bachauer Piano Festival, especially returning after having played in the competition 13 years ago! To hear such wonderful music made by such young musicians was quite remarkable. Can’t wait to hear what else these young artists have in store in their very very young but already accomplished careers! Also a big congratulations to @hyojinshin_ for a stunning recital!
Thank you to everyone at @bachauerpiano for having me be a small part of this year’s festival, and thank you to everyone who came and supported all the wonderful pianists and this great organization.
