He plays the piano like Mike Tyson boxes
Young (in his late twenties) pianist Alpin Hong recently completed a week-long residency in San Diego, courtesy of the La Jolla Music Society. He did five days of outreach in local schools, master classes, etc. He concluded his stay with a concert, which I reviewed:
If you were in the vicinity of La Jolla Mesa on Sunday afternoon, you may have heard a frighteningly loud din. What was that fiendish cacophony?
Was it the sound of a 13-car pile-up? An oil well drill bit grinding through a battleship�s bulwark? Ten cement mixers tumbling an assortment of pots, pans, cans, and large ball bearings?
No, it was just Alpin Hong playing Prokofiev�s Seventh Sonata at the Neurosciences Institute.
