I've been talking to the Li family about producing a film about their son George. You may have seen him on From The Top on PBS with Christopher O'Riley. or on Martha Stewart. After having heard from George through my You tube postings and seeing his extraordinary videos I decided to contact his family. A few weeks they came to Newport for Sunday Brunch. Katie, George's mom, Jian, George's dad and Andrew, George's younger brother arrived promptly at noon and we sat down to bagels, lox, cream cheese, chicken salad, and potato salad.
They Li boys were delightful and even more astounding was my realization that aside from the fact that George is an amazing pianist he's also just a nice, sweet and really funny kid. His brother Andrew is cut from the same cloth.
George just won second place at the Gina Bachauer Junior Piano Competition last week in Salt Lake City. His family's lack of concern about winning big prizes doesn't surprise me. They are looking at the long run, for George to develop not only as a great artist, but a great human being. How could you not like that?
More later.
