Mei Yi Foo
London-based Malaysian pianist Mei Yi Foo (born 1980) is raising money for a recording project called ConNotations, bringing together several musician friends (Bartosz Woroch, violin, Philipp Hutter, trumpet and fellow pianist Ashley Wass) and the Britten Sinfonia with conductor Clement Power to record Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No 1, Berg's Chamber Concerto and Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals. The works have been chosen partly because they bring together more than one soloist. Mei Yi Foo, who is also a certified scuba-diver, is not receiving any money from this project. She has made a pledge to the Marine Coservation Society UK to donate the proceeds from CD sales to desperately needed marine conservation work. A range of donations can be made via the Kickstarter link below, and the project must reach £4,000 of pledged donations before the morning of 16 April 2016 in order that the project gets funded. Please help if you can.
