Memories of meeting Jan Lisiecki, Piano Phenomena

WeiJia, fellow blogger and I had the extraordinary chance to meet and interview Jan Lisiecki at the Wonder of Chopin concert playing in the Jack Singer Concert Hall. When do you have the chance to meet a 15 year old piano prodigy? Not everyday, at least for me, but perhaps for his friends at Western Canada high school where he will soon graduate.  So I wanted to share this moment with the web, of having the chance to meeting him. The most fascinating aspect of Jan that I had noticed other than his extraordinary talent of piano? That he embodies both a extremely mature personality but still have the boundless and childish energy of a nine year old.

Bui. Lisa Bui. I’m a self asserted History and English nerd but anything extreme, from mountain biking to skydiving, and you can count me in. I enjoy classical music to the point that I swear the sound of C-Train doors closing beep to Beethoven’s Fur Elise. My favourite novel is Sherlock Holmes. What’s the funniest thing about me? I burst into laughter when anyone ever says the word “strange”.
