Iconic American Song Reimagined

The song, “American the Beautiful,” is very special for professional pianist Min Kwon, who moved to the U.S. from South Korea at 13. During the pandemic, Kwon started a project with more than 70 composers to create different versions of the song to fit the many moods of America. She performs them across the nation.» Subscribe to NBC News: nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

So is she going to play it or what?

[@charlescoleman5509]

Yes. Min will be premiering these pieces over a series of 4 livestream concerts here on UA-cam. Here's a link to the second livestream which will happen today at 3pm EST. My piece "To be Beautiful" will be one of them. ua-cam.com/video/rEVCH-J2r-I/v-deo.html

Im sure she is good at what she does, but I don't think we need a "pianists remix" of a song that should not be changed. It sounded like someone brought a radio playing the original song to interrupt a piano recital / concerto. Its a jumbled mess TBH SMH...

Here's a link to the second livestream concert happening today at 3pm EST. My piece "To be Beautiful" will be one of them. The goal for us composers in this project was to write pieces that utilize our own spin and variation on this well known song, which, I'd like to think, compliments it. See for yourself. ua-cam.com/video/rEVCH-J2r-I/v-deo.html
