Thank You

Dear Maestro Koh and the members of LGCO
I hope you all are still enjoying the hot spell after a long and cold winter this year.
I would like to thank everyone who had participated in this concert and “sweated” through Shostakovich with me. I know everyone had to deal with extremely wide range of pitch and complicated rhythm. I thought you guys sounded wonderful and got the right spirit of the piece. On a personal note, this was a piece I once won a concerto competition with back in conservatory. The prize was supposed to be an opportunity to perform the piece with the conservatory orchestra. But the conductor at the time refused to put it on the program because it was “way too difficult” for the orchestra. So I never got a chance to play it with an orchestra till I performed it with you. I’m only telling you this story to let you know how difficult this piece really is. It’s a hard piece for any professional orchestras, and I was so grateful of your high level performance. Your willingness and professionalism made this experience a very special one for me. I will always remember this performance with such a fondness toward you all. I hope you enjoyed the piece as much as I did. I thought the Beethoven was a big success as well, and that’s not a light piece either! My deep appreciation goes out to Vincent who was willing to put this big piece on the program and tackle it with full force.
Congratulations on your successful concert. I am looking forward to working with you again in October. Wish you a wonderful summer!
With Much Love,
Naho
