Charles Yang - Motion for Solo Violin - Original Composition
Inspired by Ysaye, Paganini, and B.B. King, I'm happy to say that "Motion" has been performed in the most random venues ranging from Lincoln Center in NYC to Ruta Maya's Coffee in Austin, TX. As I always say, music should have no barriers and I'm so grateful that audiences of all kinds have supported my music in grand concert halls to small, intimate bars and coffee houses. I hope you guys enjoy it!"Also Visit: www.charlesyangmusic.com www.facebook.com/charlesyangmusic
