29th July 2013 - 5th August 2013 |
Magdalene Ho, Kuala Lumpur, Johore, Singapore, Penang
An extraordinarily talented young pianist visited Howard Blake in his Kensington studio with a delegation of piano teachers from Malaysia early in 2013. Magdalene Ho will be leaving Malaysia at the end of August to begin at the UK Purcell School and her supporters are preparing for 3 concerts called 'Magdalene and friends' to raise funds to enable her family to be with her. They feel this would be necessary for her personal development as she is only nine! These concerts will feature Magdalene as soloist, as well as her playing some two-piano works and duets, including a new 4-hand version of Nursery Rhyme Overture, specially arranged for her and her young sister. One of the concerts will be in Kuala Lumpur on the 27th of July at which she will play the virtuosic 'Haiku' by Howard Blake, who on June 13th made a short film in his studio talking about her and endorsing her talents - to be shown at these concert events. |
