2003-10-20 by PianoBench@aol.com
I am writing on behalf of Mike Bates, Director of Academic and Institutional Relations for Yamaha's Piano Division in the US. Mike is traveling and does not have access to email today.
At 8:00 pm, Monday, November 10th, 2003, Mei-Ting Sun--the winner of the 1st International Piano-e-Competition--will give a solo recital in New York City.
Many of you enjoyed downloading and playing his Disklavier performances from the competition last year. Now is your chance to get a free ticket for yourself and your guests to hear him live in NYC.
If you can attend and would like a reasonable number of complementary tickets, please email Mike right away at:
MBates@...
The number of free tickets that Mike has is limited ,and they are being offered to subscribers of this Disklavier email list. Please do not request tickets if you are not sure that you will use them!
More information about the concert is provided below.
I heard Mei-Ting perform at the Newport Music Festival shortly after the 2003 competition. He is an exceptional player!
Regards,
PianoBench
