DAAYO hosts Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition winner Seokyoung Hong
2024-03-06 18:30 - 19:30 | TX
DAAYO is excited to host a mini-recital followed by a short Q&A for 2023 Cliburn Junior winner Seokyoung Hong on March 6, from 6:30-7:30PM at our rehearsal location at 420 Maplelawn Dr. Plano TX 75075. This event is free with registration below! This event is a great chance for young musicians (particularly pianists) to learn from a young professional currently in conservatory about his life, auditions, how he prepares, etc.

Winner of both the first prize and audience awards at the 2023 Cliburn International Junior Piano Competition and Festival, Seokyoung Hong impressed with playing “full of fire, intensity and musical precision” (Classic FM). Born in Seoul, he studied for two years at the Yewon School before moving to Boston in 2022 to work with HaeSun Paik at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School while also attending the Walnut Hill School for the Arts. He’s found himself inspired by his new environment: “Nature inspires me in various ways—its huge size, marvelous detail, the beauty of nature itself, and a lot more. For instance, the enormous entities like the ocean and the universe motivate me but also make me feel that I am only a small human.” He also finds inspiration and motivation from the two most recent winners of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, South Korea’s Yekwon Sunwoo and Yunchan Lim.

Seokyoung’s interest in composing leads him to constantly study, he says, but he also enjoys riding his bike, playing chess, and participating in the table tennis club at school. Before his Cliburn appearance, Seokyoung had several first or second-place finishes at international competitions in Korea, Switzerland, and the United States.

May 4th 2025 Cliburn Artist Fei Fei Performance and Q&A
2025-05-04 12:00 - 13:00 | TX
As part of our ongoing collaboration with the Cliburn, DAAYO will host pianist Fei-Fei for a special performance at our rehearsal facility, followed by a short Q&A session. This is a great opportunity for students, community members and classical music lovers of all sorts to hear a virtuoso pianist up-close and engage with her after the performance!

This event is free with registration below.Infusing “intoxicating grace” with “exceptional musicality” and “inconceivable virtuosity,” pianist Fei-Fei conjures a special and undeniable connectivity with her audiences that brings joy, passion, and deep musical understanding (Badische Neueste Nachrichten). Her engaging and endearing personality shines through in every note, word, and expression—whether performing as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician on world stages or as an advocate for community engagement.

“Sporting a naturally gracious charm and stage presence,” Fei-Fei has “shared her musical passions unstintingly” around the globe (Peninsula Review). Recent projects include her role as artist-in-residence with the Baden-Baden Philharmonic touring in Germany, a Carnegie Hall performance and tour of Spain with the New York Youth Symphony, a cross-disciplinary collaboration with Ballet Arkansas, a performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 at Lincoln Center with the Pegasus Symphony, a 19-city tour of China with the Aletheia Piano Trio (of which she is a founding member), and performances of lesser-represented repertoire, including concertos by Leroy Anderson, Florence Price, Clara Schumann, and Xiaogang Ye.

Additional concerto highlights include performances with the Fort Worth Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, Aspen Music Festival Orchestra, Illinois Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, Corpus Christi Symphony, Austin Symphony, Denver Philharmonic, Anchorage Symphony, and the Juilliard Orchestra. Internationally, she has performed with Canada’s Calgary Philharmonic, Germany’s Rostock and Baden-Baden Philharmonic Orchestras, and in China with the Shenzhen Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, and China National Symphony Orchestras.

Fei-Fei was featured prominently as a Cliburn finalist in the documentary film, Virtuosity, about the 2013 Cliburn Competition, which premiered on PBS in August 2015. Deeply committed to sharing her joy for music and connecting with communities, Fei-Fei frequently engages students and community audiences through school and outreach concerts and masterclasses.

Born in Shenzhen, Fei-Fei began piano lessons at the age of 5. She is a graduate of The Juilliard School where she studied with Dr. Yoheved Kaplinsky and is currently pursing Doctoral of Musical Arts degree with pianist Yefim Bronfman at Manhattan School of Music. Fei-Fei is also a member of the piano faculty at John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University and teaching associate to Yefim Bronfman at Manhattan School of Music.

Lucas Cantor Talk at DAAYO
2025-12-10 18:30 - 19:30 | DAAYO Rehearsal Facility, 420 Maplelawn Dr., Plano, Texas, 75075
Update: The event has passed but we still have some books available for sale! (See form below.) A portion of the proceeds goes toward supporting DAAYO’s operations. You can choose to pick it up at DAAYO’s facility during rehearsal hours or have it mailed to you for a nominal fee.DAAYO will be hosting a special talk on Music, Art and Artificial Intelligence by two-time Emmy Award winner Lucas Cantor at our rehearsal facility on 12/10/25, 6:30PM. A multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and author, Lucas has worked in NBC music department for the Olympic Games since 2002, and won two Emmys for the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. He co-produced Lorde’s cover of Everybody Wants To Rule The World on the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack.Other compositions include the opening to the 2025 and 2023 NFL Super Bowl coverage on Fox, co-writing the theme song for Major League Soccer on Fox, music for the Netflix anime Cannon Busters, and the original score for the documentary Failure To Protect (2022).

Mr. Cantor’s work with Huawei and its artificial intelligence to finish Schubert’s famous “Unfinished” Symphony piqued his interest in AI, and spurned him ask deep questions about the role of technology in the music and the arts. Creating music in collaboration with a machine led him to question his long-standing assumptions about what music is, what technology does, and how the two have evolved together over the course of human history, from the first bone flute to today’s landscape of constant innovation and change.This culminated in his upcoming book: Unfinished: The Role of the Artist in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, which will be available for sale at this talk!
