From June 9 to 17 I took part in the Harpa International Music Academy in Reykjavik, Iceland. The event was founded by Wei Lin, we performed with the Sassmannshaus Trio, there was a lot of teaching, and a final concert on Iceland's Independence Day. The concert halls were in one of the best arts centers I have seen, with unique modern architecture. All three halls sound fantastic.

The opening concert included Yabing Tan and Christina Nam from Cincinnati, Yabing was literally the poster child for this Festival.
Now we are getting ready for the 2013 Great Wall International Music Academy in Beijing, July 12 to August 2. After China I will travel to the Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg.
