Just before playing Mozart Concerto No 23, Umi was very kindly interviewed by Kathy Caldwell with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra in Punta Gorda, Florida. The concert took place on March 12, 2011.
You can find videos of her performance with the symphony orchestra below:

Cool, I'm home-schooled, as well! And (as you know, Umi), I play the piano, too! AND, I'm part Asian! Wow...

I love this interview! The echo makes it a bit hard, but... :)

Concerto no. 20 is ambitious, I look forward to hearing it :-) "Do you confuse the two?" - "No, it's in a different key." That creased me up.

Whatever is causing that extreme echo makes this very difficult to follow.
