Kevin Lau DMA performance.avi

This is my cousin's recital for his DMA (Doctorate of Musicical Arts) at University of Toronto. This is a performance of his composition called "Joy".

"Joy was originally conceived as the second movement of a suite for a string quartet...The composition reflects aspects beyond a state of pure celebration.
...Far too often it is only when we lose something dear to us that we are able to see with utter clarity its value in our lives. The experience of loss is an awakening and it is no surprise that joy and grief - both painfully acute experiences of overwhelming love - are expressed in such similar ways. Joy is a tribute to these sentiments, and a plea to cherish the precious things in our lives, while they remain." ~ Kevin
