AYO Tour: Kent Isomura plays Rachmaninov Concerto No.2 - Auckland
What an amazing experience! Performed my final concert of the tour at the Auckland Town Hall Great Hall.
Last time i performed here was in 2014 the prokofiev piano concerto no.3 so it has been a while. The atmosphere was great and i couldnt ask for a better ending to this tour!
First time i heard this piece live was exactly 10 years ago by Auckland Youth Orchestra and Antun conducting. I never thought i will be performing the piece with this Orchestra and Antun 10 years later!
What a journey it was, i gained alot of energy and passion from the orchestra, and definitely would love to collaborate with them again in the future!
