CLASSICAL KING EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS FEATURING YOUNG ARTISTS
Videos of the winners of the 2024 Frances Walton Competition, recorded during Classical KING’s local performance show Northwest Focus Live, will be posted on NPR Live sessions.
Pianist Sean Yang performs the Etude No.3 in E Major, composed by Frederic Chopin. Chopin thought that the melody in this Etude was the most beautiful of all he’d written.
Percussionist Kana Funayama performs Kaze no Sobyō, composed by Sana Fujimori. This gorgeous piece, whose title translates to “Ancestor of the Wind”, was written specifically for Kana who gave its world premiere this September.
The Frances Walton Competition is a program of the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle.
Thank you for listening and supporting Classical KING.
