My Severance Hall debut performing my Gusty Garden Galaxy piano cadenza with The Video Game Symphony. It was quite a thrill!
The piece begins with a simple and charming melody that develops nicely into the middle waltz section a la Chopin or Liszt. After a welcomed recapitulation we're treated to a brief respite by the calming and dreamy coda, only to be woken up by the final emphatic chord. It's quite the journey!
Please take a moment to enjoy my performance of "Concord" from the Katawa Shoujo Piano Collections composed and arranged by Sebastien Skaf and released by @materiacollective.com

I figured I'd share a little background on how this Katawa Shoujo project came to be. If interested you can read about it here - www.robkovacsmusic.com/blog/katawa-...
To celebrate the release of the Katawa Shoujo Piano Collections, here is a video of probably my favorite piece from the album - Romance in Andante. Composed by Sebastien Skaf, this lovely Chopin-inspired piece with sparkling right hand flourishes was a joy to learn. Enjoy! youtu.be/47Mk-dazY9E
I'm excited for you all to hear this. :)
