These compositions are absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful pianist you are, too! I truly loved listening and watching you perform!
Another amazing group of pieces here. So happy to have been involved in this gig. Min played beautifully!
Thanks Min Kwon for this awesome project of collaborating with living composers in showing the different variations of “America the Beautiful”. Hats off to you all! God bless America!

A lovely piece in every way. Music truly brings people together. I thank her for her desire to help USA heal. Its magnificent.
This proves again that wonderful music can still be and is still being composed today; some truly beautiful (not merely pretty or seductive) and profound pieces in this 'instalment'. And I omitted to mention yesterday (shame on me!) that your playing, Min, is outstanding: both polished and highly expressive, as if you have been working on these pieces for years, which obviously you haven't! Your presentation of each piece also leaves nothing to be desired. Brava!
Min Kwon you are a force of nature! Bravo and three cheers to you - and to all of the composers! Spectacular job by all.
