MUSIC BY NATHAN CHAN
We are pleased to have the “America the Beautiful” music on our main web page by a young Chinese American Cello artist. He has won many awards, including most recently, the Ray Lorenzato Young Artist Diamond award from the Peninsula Arts Council. He was only 13 when he substituted for Yo-Yo Ma to perform with Roberta Flack in a recent recording in 2007. In an article on the September 15 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, he was referred to as a “young cello prodigy”. You can read the article by clicking here.
In addition to his outstanding music, he is also a balanced child with many other interests. He was featured in a 2006 HBO documentary called “The Music in Me”. You can see this segment of him playing “The Swan” on YouTube:
