"Musicians are created equal:" Developing your artistic voice with Christopher Shih and Hilda Huang
First Prize Winner of the Van Cliburn International Amateur Piano Competition and gastroenterologist Christopher Shih joins Hilda Huang in conversation about being a musician while also being a full-time gastroenterologist. Neither just an amateur nor a professional pianist, Christopher Shih is a musician's musician.

The conversation is 'off-line' so cannot put remarks into the conversation.
-
Roy James-Pike Yes! I'm seeing the same message and no matter how often I open a new window, it pops up again. I'm sure enjoying the conversation with Christopher Shih, though!
-
Monika Tusnady Me too. he's saying exactly I how I see the risk of being a musician. Do you think that it was on an hour earlier, 6 pm, as Hilda is in New York on the east coast but we received the message from the west coast?
-
Roy James-Pike Oh, perhaps! North Americans did their time change at 2AM on Sunday morning. You're in GB, aren't you? I'm in France and we don't "spring forward" until a few weeks from now. Well, at least we have an explanation for not being able to participate in the chat.
-
Monika Tusnady even more problems caused by the daylight shifts. It's now 19:41 in the UK. Is it 16:41 in France?
-
Roy James-Pike 18:41. now 18:42?
-
Monika Tusnady Don't know whether you saw my reply to myself. I corrected my numbers - 1841 - now 18:42?
-
Roy James-Pike Actually, it's 20:44 now!
-
Roy James-Pike We're to the East of GB and slightly ahead in time.
-
Monika Tusnady GMT adjusts the clocks for daylight. I think our real time is now 20:50. Hilda is just finishing - not sure where you are in the playback.
-
Roy James-Pike I'll have to be aware that the notifications that I receive from tonebase will be out of whack until we also move our clocks forward.
-
Monika Tusnady I sent something to Ben by email. We need clearer instructions. it's probalby why Hildas' live sessions have not had an email prompt previously. This is the first one and it wasn't accurate...
-
Monika Tusnady I think I might learn some astronomy, so that I can tell time via the night sky.....it might prove handy between international clock changes
-
Jenny It does need to be sorted out. I looked at my barometer but didn't get any advice.
-
Roy James-Pike
(barometers can be a bit temperamental)
-
-
Yes, I think it was on an hour earlier, I'm watching the play back now.
-
Jenny Me too. It's a shame not to contribute but good to hear it now.
-
-
I am just now able to watch and will enjoy hearing from Chris. I was chosen as one of the 72 pianists in the Amateur Cliburn that will finally take place this October. I am also a medical provider. Really can identify with Chris!

Kathy Abrahamson Well done Kathy for being able to pursue your musical career as well as a vocational one. Competitions are one of the ways to have a focus for practising.
