Just wanted to share this surreal opening from the 2nd mvt of Respighi’s Trittico botticelliano (Three Botticelli Pictures) as I begin my preparation for performance this Sunday!!

This concert is definitely my personal favorite of this season!! Never thought that I would perform this excerpt when I learnt it in grad school and now this is happening on my first professional season!!!

Extra-bonus that it is paired with Stravinsky’s Pulcinella suite. A lot of bassoon is happening in this program and I can’t wait to this cycle!!!

Grateful to step-in for concert this weekend. Getting more preparation on Contra, funny enough that I still have not play Brahms 3 bassoon part yet but twice on contra already.

It has some tricky high chromatic passages, delicate soft playing and powerful power chorale. Good to revisit and consolidate some contra playing with my wonderful colleague Simion and Jodi!! Thanks for having me again!!

2026 4th concert ✅

Hello old mate!!! Long time no see!!!
It’s been quite a while playing some serious contrabassoon repertoire!!! Swapping between instruments in few measures and powering through the low register is always the remarkable experience in Mahler’s symphonies.

Pairing Mahler with Chinese element is a common programming idea, besides Mahler’s symphony no.1 pairs with the Yellow River Piano concerto in this week’s program. Probably more than 10 years ago since my last performance on Mahler one. Always enjoyable to revisit such gem in the repertoire!! Hope my next visit will be sooner than last time!!

2026 2nd order ✅

10 finished reed prepared for , 7 Danzi and 3 Lavoro. These reeds are built with Herzberg shape and profiler.

For those who have not learn about the Herzberg profiler, The Herzberg profiler basically is a 2 in 1 machine, it uses double barrel system that allow specific profile to be profiler to the cane. Eventually it works as normal profiler plus tip profiler.

Therefore you will recognize its signature thumbnail and thin cutoff area from the fold-over to the tip of thumbnail. But the biggest challenge of double barrel profiler is the alignment. It is extremely crucial to have the pattern aligned at the middle of the cane otherwise it’s the beginning of reed trauma.

Luckily the Herzberg machine is designed and assembled with exceptional precision and verification system that all the adjustment changes are measurable and traceable.
