I write in jest as I always do for the students of Jinbo Huang. This is the third outing that I have attended and I remain quite in awe. It's still that the younger ones don't have that adult emotional awareness but they have skills and chops which will support their emotional interpretations as they grow older. They take on Bach and Haydn and Beethoven and the rest with real competence at all ages, then on to a first year university student (Michael Anufriya) and we hear delightful delicacy and clarity in the playing. And the ages do vary. Charles Huang is not one of the older players, but he is impressive and capable and verging on that mature interpretation of the adults. And the range of works is another pleasure. Bach and Beethoven are popular, but also Faure and Sibelius and Bartok and something more obscure, Michael Carmichael. And agian, they mainly played from memory. One advantage of a young age, perhaps? Just another Wesley Wednesday concert, and just another great pleasure.
The Piano studio of Jinbo Huang performed at Wesley. On the day, the performers were Frank Huang, Charles Huang, Naomi Feng, James Jin, Charlie Sanoubane, Michael Anufriyva and Damien Ruan (piano).
