Congratulations to all winners at the Singapore International Violin Competition! I was very disappointed not being able to be there for all the wonderful performances by these amazing young violinists, and even more disappointed that I missed the 12 (yes, TWELVE!) live performances of my piece kilo<byte>! Fortunately, technology has saved the day again, and I watched all the recitals and concerts on YouTube! My heartiest congratulations to Sirena Huang, who won Best Performer of my work! Here’s the link to Sirena’s semi-final performance! (The program order is Beethoven, Koh, Faure and Ysaye – my piece starts at 35’52”.)
