Ways to Connect with Charlie & Call for Help!
Feb 8th, 2010 by mingyi
There are now another brand new way of connecting with Charlie - Stay on top of any of Charlie’s upcoming events by subscribing to his mailing list here!
Some of our Youtube friends started to wonder why Charlie haven’t posted a video for so long (in fact we even took 30 piano videos private) - very uncharacteristic. He hasn’t attended a piano competition for quite a while now. What’s he busy with?
Well, other than hockey and video games, he’s been busy preparing for something a lot more rewarding than competitions and/or recording for Youtube: Using his talent to help others. Yes, that’s been Charlie’s focus for the last several months.
We already set up one benefit concert (subscribe to our mailing list to not miss it!) and are working on two others and potentially another one! It’s very exhausting to organize these things, and turns out, there are many who’d love to help out. In fact, for one event we’re planing, it would’ve been incredibly difficult to get to where we are now with only our own effort. Our friends Yasemin and John offered tremendous help for the event. There are other friends who help out in other ways too. When Charlie gives back to the community, it’s clear that the community loves to help out!
So here’s our hope: If you are setting up a charity event and Charlie could be of help, let us know! We’ll see if it’d work out. If you are willing to help out with Charlie’s charity events, let us know! We might just need your help!
Please use contact form to contact us. If you’re interested in coming to the events, please do subscribe to Charlie’s mailing lists!
Wow, it’s great to hear about Charlie’s new focus! It sounds like the perfect outlet for his considerable talent. It’s unusual to come across such an empathetic and motivated child so young. I have one question, though: what does this have to do with taking many of Charlie’s videos to private? Is it that the profits from his performances will be reduced if people can just hear him play on YouTube?
Thanks! Charlie’s having fun doing it! Benefit recitals are only partial reason why we took many of his videos private. There are enough asking me this question that I posted my very-frank thought in this blog post: http://charlie-liu.com/blog/?p=604. Hope you understand! Thanks for your continued interest in Charlie’s events and music development. We’ll still post new public videos from time to time.
