Indeed! =)  Reuben also went to MGS (as well as his younger brother, Richard Lipohar, who was a violin player instead...).

Just out of interest, do you know who his teacher is?

Wow, Dan Le has Rita Reichmann as a teacher too... I never knew that :O

Assuming you mean Reuben Chen, his teacher's the same as mine, Alison

Concerto Concert is in September, haha (aaaages away).  Off the top of my head, last year we had:
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto Movement 1 (Daniel Le)
Chopin Piano Concerto 1 Movement 1 (Kevin Kanisius)
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto 3 Movement 1 (Henry Wei)
Saint-Saens Morceau du Concerto for Horn+Orchestra
Mozart Clarinet Concerto Movement 1
Shostakovich Piano Concerto 2 Movement 2
Schreiner The Worried Drummer (AWESOME percussion concerto >.>)
Aforementioned aria from Marriage of Figaro
Another aria which escapes my mind (Phoebe Russell's brother!)
A timpani concerto which escapes my mind...
A flute concerto which escapes my mind...
A cello concerto which escapes my mind...
A trumpet concerto which escapes my mind...

We went a bit overboard with having three 20 minute piano concertos last year, though, given that we only had a term to rehearse.  Managed to pull them off in the end, but only barely (we literally played through the Tchaikovsky only once in its entirety before the concert)...

That's an amazing programme! (I love the Tchaik, Chopin and Rach!).
Is the flute concerto:
Concertino Op 107 - Chaminade
Mozart Flute Conc (No 1 or 2)
Ibert Flute Concerto
Prokofiev Flute Concerto
^ any of those?

[ninwa]

Grrr I don't like Rita Reichmann >:[

What happened to Reuben? He was doing arts/law in my year... then he disappeared, apparently to London to study music... then I never heard anything about him again... o.O

The closest I'm going to get to playing a concerto this year at school is Tango Ballet.

LOL TANGO BALLET that's a funny name

Mark Mogilevsky (spelling?).  He has another student at MGS on music scholarship as well right now (Willard Zhong).

Reuben Lipohar, not Chen.  :p

And yeah, it was the Chaminade.

[the.watchman]

Correct spelling
Wow, pro teacher!
I've only met him twice, but he's amazing!

[AzureBlue]

Reuben Lipohar, not Chen.  :p
And yeah, it was the Chaminade.

Ahh, I've never heard of Reuben Lipohar Who is he, does he go to grammar too?
Chaminade was the piece that got me into flute - when I heard it, I was like WHOA those runs are sooo fast! But now my favourite flute pieces are Fantasie - Hue and Sonatine - Burton.

He was a pro pianist who graduated 2006.  Got 49 and 50 in Solo and Group performance respectively, I believe (not that that's a precise measure of musical talent, but still...).

[appianway]

Ooh Mark! He's an awesome violinist and really nice too.

and ... yamaha piano competition state finalist and national finalist. mark chu beat him the 2 years before haha, i still remember that year so clearly, that was with ron ho and michelle nyugen in the junior division with michelle winning it, and mark and reuben played almost identical pieces (chu was learning from ronald farren price and reuben with stephen mcintyre)  mark played liszt transcendental etude (no 6?) and bach prelude and fugue (forgot no). Reuben played chopin etude no 4 and bach prelude and fugue (no 8 book I).

lol yeah same here, apparently she and my teacher teacher don't  have such a good relationship....

reuben went to london's music conservatory to study piano didn't he? is he back in aus now?

[Personally i like mark chu style (yes another MGS) better than reuben lol, i can't believe mark stopped pursuing music tho... what a shame]

[ninwa]

I love how you remember exactly what every. single. person. played at Yamaha

I used to study with Mark Chu's dad, until he got pissed off that I beat his son once in a competition and stopped teaching me properly.

I beat him ONCE. ONCE! Stupid parents living vicariously through children. Pffft.
