4GET-ME-NOT AJMAN ELDERLY NURSING HOME EVENT Jan 28th 2016

I was invited to perform a mini solo concert by 4get-Me-Not organization on Jan 28th 2016 for elders at Elderly Nursing Home in Ajman. I remember playing for my great-grandma in her nursing home and my grandma in the hospital... that's why I happily agreed to perform!! I remember how happy they were when I played for them. When I walked into this nursing home, the feeling of being with them returned to me... Such a warm welcome and a beautiful experience!! I will definitely come back to perform for them regularly!

Classical winter wonderland concert Dec 11th 2017

Four (Alan, Jijin, Zeulecka, & Hina) of our violin students, a teacher, & parents from Little Flower English School attended the Classical Winter Wonderland Concert hosted by Emirates Youth Symphony Orchestra. It was their FIRST time ever to attend a formal concert in theater. We thank you for Mr. Riad Kudsi for allowing them to be in the backstage with all the musicians and encouraging them to practice hard to join his orchestra!! Also we are so grateful for all musicians who welcomed them with open heart and shared your passion for music. Especially, the Jr. manage from Premere College of Prague who sat with them during the entire concert answering all their questions patiently. Sincerely hope that our violin students can perform along with many orchestras in the future!!

Chirstmas eve concert @ World trade center dec 24th 2017

I was invited to join the Christmas Eve Celebration organized by the Fellowship of the Emirates. It is the biggest gathering of Christmas Celebration in the Middle East (approximate 5,000 people attending this event). I was honored to be part of this professional band to celebrate Christmas in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Since it was not like any orchestra performances that I used to, I had to adjust different settings, and all the rehearsals were in between my final exams, but it was a really rewarding experience! 

1st Performance 5pm
2nd Performance 7:30pm
