symphony of praise

another successful concert by the PJYO and grace note choir to raise funds for a nepalese fund to help them live a better life here in malaysia. a good cause by the church. the concert was held in first baptist church, pj. i was astounded by it's huge stage and awesome surrounding system. even though we weren't playing on a grand piano as per previous concerts (it was an upright piano this time), every mistakes of ours could be heard clearly right at the back of the hall. that raised our hypertension level by a tad bit. just a LITTLE bit. i kid you not.

i played He. again. i'm pretty sure the audience are bored of me by now. seeing that i've played the song again and again for the past few concerts. :p despite playing it for several times, i still manage to creep in a few mistakes here again. how typical of me. gladly to say that not many people notice my shortfalls. if you don't count mr lam, the WHOLE orchestra and well maybe my fellow solo pianists performers. :p

the concert went on smoothly. grace notes were awesome as they always are. love love love their harmony! every hard work they put in was worth it. as for the solo pianists performance, we did okay. yuesum blanked out for a few bars but manage to get it back right on track. now that's something worth applauding for. kaier had her fair share of mistakes and making the orchestra chase after her 'rushed' timing. overall, it was a fun night and i was happy to finally strike that off my calendar. mission accomplished!
