Ich steh an deiner krippe hier

Akin plays this beautiful Christmas song of the German baroque era (music by J.S. Bach and words by Pretorius) at his school Christmas celebration. He is accompanied by his friend Tobias on piano.

Akin's Lord of the Rings medley recital

The medley containing his selection from soundtrack themes of  LORD OF THE RINGS : "In Dreams", "Concerning Hobbits", "Many Meetings" and "Rohan - King of the Golden Hall".
In "Concerning Hobbits" he missed one entry for just a moment and few notes in the high pitch - but otherwise he played PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL! very concentrated and with good expression for the spirit of the music. The sound of the recording doesn't do him full justice - sorry for that!

At the Golden Triangle

Jochen and Da visited us for one week in Chiang Mai - went together to some places in the Golden triangle - here on the Mekong in Chiang Saen

Akin plays Thai Song บุพเพสันนิวาส (Bupet Sannivat)

บุพเพสันนิวาส - A very romantic old Thai love song about a couple who are born far from each other but still destiny will bring them together. We couldn't find the violin notes for it - Akin just plays it just from hearing to a music video.
