how frequently does the letter "j" appear in:
dear reader, it's been over two years since i first performed on stage with the choir, accompanied by a full orchestra, conducted by a dashing, charming and sexy conductor. i wrote about it here. this brilliant man, conductor and violinist, is brian tan.
from the very first rehearsal, we were smitten by him - all at once serious but friendly, very professional but full of fun, passionate, expressive and absolutely one with the music. as a violinist, he makes great music; as a conductor, he makes the musicians make great music. he is patient, yet firm, and knows just how to bring out the best in each and every one under his leadership. i do not know how i can put into words how grateful i am, really, to have had the chance to work with such a musical genius.
it saddened me tremendously, therefore, to find out that he's actually been sick the last couple of years - the horrible, horrible pancreatic cancer - and his health has deteriorated to its worst. it is utterly heartbreaking to know that a man yet so young and talented; so great a teacher, mentor, and leader; and without doubt so awesome a person, is destined to face such tragic circumstances. i know not what else to write... i'm still overwhelmed.
musicians who love, and i believe, are loved by brian, are putting together a concert to raise an education fund for his children, and needless to say, any form of contribution will make a difference. the concert will be held on october 28, at the kuala lumpur performing arts center (klpac). details here:
