The Piano Pod's latest episode will premiere this coming Tuesday, March 14th, at 8 PM Eastern Time. For this episode, I interviewed Ji Eun Kim, classical pianist, arts activist, YouTuber, and author. Here are some highlights from the interview.
I think we have to remember there's a reason why you love playing piano, and I often— we're so bombarded with the environment of a competitiveness or other things that you forget that and then focusing on other thing, but if you really listen to yourself, the very thing is music. If that very thing is piano, then you can uncover the layering out and then try to be in tune with yourself. I grew up in a, in a very unrealistic setting, which is surrounded by pianists, surrounded by classical musicians. My audience were professors and students who memorized all the Beethoven sonatas by Opus number and they know, but then when I went into the real, real actual audience, they don't even care. They don't know anything about it. And then when I play certain pieces and in my head I was thinking like, oh, I made that mistake. Oh, I made a memory mistake there. Oh, I could have done that technically better. It doesn't make any sense to them. More important that I realize is they want to connect with me. Music's supposed to be connected through souls to souls and in that space. And I believe that music completes the circle when we play and share life. And I think that's why every time whenever I perform, it's difficult, but that's the function of the music that I give, but then I receive. And, you know, the most beautiful concert, or the most— I would not say perfect, but the most rewarding concerts. It's not last mistake concerts, but then the concerts that I felt the most engaged with the music, with myself in the music, and inevitably audience receive as well.
