Bruce Liu: Secrets to Success in Music, Life and Love

Some time ago, when our piano duo was giving a recital for the Vancouver Chopin Society (before the Chopin Competition even started) we mentioned to the organizers that there is one young talented pianist ,our friend and classmate who is planning to take part in the Chopin Competition. The name of the pianist was Bruce Liu, a guy they had never heard of before.

Just within a few months everything has changed! Difficult to find any music lover on the planet who is unaware of Bruce Liu's talent. Concert organizations are lining up to have him perform in their cities. Vancouver will be lucky to hear Bruce's playing soon too.

Please join (and enjoy) our casual conversation prior to Bruce's two recitals organized by the Vancouver Chopin Society.
