Piano Stories - April 2005

Piano Stories took off with an impressive reception at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. For those that missed out, the concert featured a series of piano pieces from well known Anime titles such as music by Joe Hisaishi (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away), Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop, Vision of Escaflowne), Shiro Sagisu (Evangelion, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou) and others.

Stars of the concert were Alexey Yemtsov, winners of the Vladimir Horowitz International Piano Competition and the Prokofiev International Piano Competition, plus special guests.

In ending, the stars finished off by meeting with the audience in a poster & CD signing session. Excited fans took photos with our performers for a memory capturing moment.

Many thanks to our wonderful volunteers for their magnificent help in producing a successful concert. We all enjoyed the after party celebration with drinks and a wonderful feast at the end of the night.
