Just came across this photo at the Collaborative Piano Blog via werekanga at flickr. I love how the line has blurred between art-music-design. For more painted pianos check out Luke Jerram’s interactive art-music installation, Street Pianos, that took place all over London a couple of weeks ago. Here’s a painted piano and a performance on Carnaby Street that I posted over at AllPiano.

Di Wu :: Van Cliburn Competition 2009
I’ve been lazy about posting lately. I’ve been so caught up in the live-streaming of the Van Cliburn Piano Competition. This competition happens once every four years and thanks to some nifty technology we’re now able to follow it as we are there. Even the chamber music rehearsals are broadcast live. And if you miss any of the recitals they are archived on the site. My personal favorites this year are Chinese pianist, Di Wu… and Andrea Lam, the bubbly pianist from Austrialia (a Yale grad.) You can visit the main site for the competition here.
Update: Woo-hoo! Di Wu is onto the finals. Along with 5 other fantastic contestants. Performances continue until Sunday….
