Young International Piano Prodigies Team for Chilean and Haitian Relief Efforts

(I-Newswire) March 11, 2010 - PRINCETON, N.J. -- An ensemble of piano prodigies, aged 7 to 14, released their first online collaborative performance. The award-winning classical musicians from 7 different countries and 4 continents, collectively known as "Young Artists for Haiti", performed Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor to raise awareness and funds for continuing development efforts in Chile and Haiti. The collaborative performance merges virtual technology and classical art for humanitarian purposes.

"Their good work will bring a smile to your face – and sorely needed relief to the victims of the Haiti and Chile earthquakes."

Initiated and organized by Charlie Liu, 9, and his family in Princeton NJ, the collaborative project also features two other world famous American pianists, Marc Yu, 11, and George Li, 14, from California and Massachusetts respectively.
