Dear Special Venue ,

We are immensely grateful for the unforgettable experience of performing at Carnegie Hall. It was an extraordinary opportunity for our Trio and Quartet piano students from Fremont, California, and the evening has left a lasting impact on their lives, inspiring them to reach even greater heights. As their teacher, I deeply appreciate your organization’s dedication to creating such enriching moments for young musicians.
We look forward to future performances on your esteemed stage.

Warm regards,

From Artistic Director of Musician Groups

Thank you very much for the wonderful competition. This was my daughter's first experience abroad, and I believe it has greatly expanded her perspective on music, as well as on people, culture, and the beauty of the city. She was particularly moved by hearing the performances of others. It was also a wonderful musical journey that brought her closer to her beloved piano teacher. This experience has become a lifelong memory for both of us.

We are truly grateful for this invaluable opportunity.

Dear Special Venue Team,

Thank you very much for the video. It was beautifully filmed and will be a lifelong treasure. I am also very satisfied with the photos. We are thrilled that it was uploaded to YouTube. My family and I watched it together.

The venue in Vienna is also wonderful, and I plan to participate in the competition there. Since it coincides with spring break, it seems there will be many participants, so I will practice hard before submitting the video.

This type of competition did not exist in Japan, so I understand the organizers must have faced many challenges, but for the children, it is a stepping stone to spread their wings internationally. The concert offered various genres, which was enjoyable, and I also made new friends who play the piano. It was a wonderful experience and a great memory. I will continue practicing and aim to upload a good video by the end of the year.

Thank you so much once again.

Here’s an English translation of your message:

Dear Special Venue Team,

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your support during the Special Venue International Music Competition. It felt like a dream to have the opportunity to perform at the iconic Carnegie Hall, and that dream became a reality, creating memories that are truly irreplaceable. This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the entire Special Venue team. I am deeply thankful.

For my daughter, this was her first overseas trip, and it became a memorable experience, made even more special by the opportunity to perform at the prestigious Special Venue International Music Competition. It was also a meaningful experience for her to participate alongside her piano teacher, who has always been a source of support, and with her close friends. These memories will stay with her for a lifetime. Furthermore, being able to immerse herself in a new culture through her love for music was a deeply moving experience that has further strengthened her passion for the piano.

I sincerely wish for the continued success and growth of the Special Venue team, and I pray that your efforts continue to inspire many others. Thank you once again for providing such a wonderful and joyous experience.

With heartfelt appreciation,

From the mother of a 13-year-old pianist from Japan

It was like a dream to be able to perform the koto in the United States. I am truly grateful for the wonderful opportunity you provided. It has also become a great source of motivation for me moving forward. I made new friends, and I hope that in the future, we will have the chance to perform together.

Thank you once again, and I look forward to your continued support.

Thank you very much.
