Highlights from Music Miracles Concert

By Anne Tang

First, I would like to introduce “Little Red Crowned Crane.” The dancer’s name is Elena and has studied hard under Mrs. Xuejuan, a dance teacher. She practices her dances almost every day and has shown dedication and talent for her lovely performances. photo

I would also like to talk about the next performer, Michelle. She is a dancer who started at the age of just five, winning many awards in the U.S. She has shown passion for her dances and loves it as well. She performed A Thousand Years, by Christina Perri. She also performed Turn Your Face, a little mix. photo

Next, I will be talking about Joseph Pei. He is good at playing the violin and knows how to do Kung Fu. He has been studying under Mrs. Diao and has made a lot of progress. He played L. Boccherini’s Minuet, an amazingly performed piece. photo

I would additionally talk about Jason, a piano player who started when he was about 7 years old with Mrs. Margarita. He played Ode to Joy and Soccer is My Favorite. They were both wonderful pieces for the audience.

Along with Jason, I would like to talk about his older sister, Yuxin. She is a talented piano player and a violin player. She started piano at just five years old and has won many awards in the country. Her talents help her enjoy the music pieces and help the audience enjoy it too. Yuxin’s loving trait made her audience love it so much. She did the piano piece, My Heart Will Go On. She also played the violin, performing Concerto in B Minor.

I would also like to talk about myself, Annie. I played the piano starting at about four years old. I really love piano and other musical instruments. I played Bach’s Sinfonia, Scarlatti Sonata in C Major, Mozart’s Sonata, and Chopin Impromptu. photo

Following my performance, I’d like to talk about my little brother Aiden. He is also a piano player who started at age 5. Like me, he spends time practicing and won many awards here. He played Bach’s Invention and Chopin Nocturne. photo

Lastly, I would like to talk about the Water Lily Dance Team. The girls there include Elena, Sophia Z, Angela, Olivia, Faith, Sophia T, and me as well. We performed a Chinese classical dance named The Leaping Koi. The koi is an imagery of those fish in traditional Chinese culture. The koi signifies great fortune, prosperity, and perseverance too. The movements of the fish illustrate the Koi’s graceful swimming and leaping motions in the water. photo photo

Overall, the performances were amazing! I hope the audiences and performers enjoy it.
