I’m excited to be performing the Canadian premiere of Vivian Fung’s first violin concerto next weekend in my hometown, Saskatoon. The concerto draws on the sights and sounds that Vivian Fung experienced on a trip to Bali. The opening measures sparkle and sing, but the ensuing sections take the listener on a wild ride through an unfamiliar but beautiful countryside. I’m loving sinking my teeth into this wonderful piece (and “playing like a rockstar!”)
