Scholarships Awarded for 2005

Kenric Tam
2005 - USA
|
As the most promising young American participant in Gold Country Piano Workshop in 2005, Kenric Tam
has been chosen to attend the Warsaw Piano Workshop in August on
scholarship. He lives in Los Altos, California and is a student of John
McCarthy. His large and challenging repertoire for study at GCPI did
not even include Prokofiev’s 6th Piano Sonata, the 4th movement of
which our instructors chose for him to play in the Grande Finale
Concert.
In August, he takes off in an adventure to the home of
Frederick Chopin, so other scholars say, you can feel the presence of
Chopin, and where he will no doubt visit the master’s home, preserved
just as he left it, and study with Polish students of the piano, no
doubt even learning some of that difficult language.
What a wonderful world of cross cultures we live in! We’ll hear from Kenric when he returns. |
