Congratulations to Ryan on his Carnegie Hall debut!

Huge congrats to our wonderful student Ryan Chou for making what I heard was a beautiful debut at Carnegie Hall at 13 years old! Bravo! Special thanks to beautiful pianist Priscilla Ko for supporting him in this milestone event. Ryan marks our 28th student to make their debut in the past 4 years for HVS!

HVS Memory Lane Day 4

For our fourth day down HVS East Memory Lane, I have selected the evening 13 of my students performed at Carnegie Hall making their debuts as both soloists and chamber musicians. This was such a special evening for so many reasons. First, having this many students place in the Protege International Competition and get offered their debuts was obviously something we were all very proud of in the studio. When the students found out they had received prizes together, they were elated to know we could place them on the same concert so they could experience their debuts together. We planned the trip as a studio and managed to bring not only mothers but also grandmothers with us to enjoy our time in NYC on Mothers Day weekend. With the debuts falling on Mothers Day we were fortunate enough to reserve a small restaurant just for us. I was able to make a champagne toast for the moms and grandmothers in the studio. Without our studio moms, our students wouldn't be where they are are today! This will be one of my favorite memories of HVS East because it reminded me of the beauty of community, family, and the empowerment you can feel in a group of talented young people!
