2018/6/13 Charles Young: Alto Saxophone Concerto (Taiwan Premiere)

Huge appreciation to conductor Yuwen Chen and FJUSO for giving me this opportunity to premiere Charles Rochester Young’s Alto saxophone concerto in Taiwan.
I was addicted to this piece since I heard my professor’s recording of it, and I made a wish that I hope I would be able to play this piece with a band in the future.
Thank you all so much again for making my dream come true:)

This was a very special performance for me. Before I studied abroad, I have played Jérôme Naulais’ Frissons with FJUSO on 2014 December. This time, 2018 June, after I got my master degree, I came back and played a concerto with FJUSO. It feels like I am back home.

Huge thanks to my family, my professor Dr. Stusek, my Apollo saxophone quartet, JMSI friends, UNCG Taiwanese Association, and my girlfriend Wendy.
I could not stand on stage without your support and encouragement. I will keep practicing and playing saxophone, and hope I will be able to share more great music with you:)

真的非常感謝
陳宇文老師和輔大管弦樂社管樂團的學弟妹們
願意給我這個機會在台灣首演 Charles Rochester Young 寫給中音薩克斯風的協奏曲

出國前聽到我教授吹這首的錄音
就被這首曲子深深地吸引
當時就期待著在未來的某一天能和樂團一起演出
再次謝謝宇文老師和輔大管的學弟妹們幫我實現這個願望：）

這次的演出對我來說意義非凡
2014年12月在我出國前和輔大管合了第一次的協奏曲
2018年6月在我念完碩士回國後又回到輔大管合協奏曲
有種“回娘家”的感覺：）

感謝在準備過程中一直支持我的
家人
教授 Dr. Steven Stusek
阿波羅四重奏的大家
“劃破寧靜”的夥伴們
在美國共患難的好友們
當然還有我的女朋友Wendy
謝謝妳給我勇氣，鼓勵我去完成連我自己都沒有想到能完成的事

我會繼續加油精進，希望能帶給大家更好的音樂。
