Young Talent: Trevor and the Rach II

Trevor is a junior in high school and son to Cheryl of A Round Unvarnish'd Tale.

You might also know Trevor's dad from Fine Tuning and Liturgy Solutions.

Trevor played this piece in competition earlier this month. There must have been some stiff competition, as he did not even earn honorable mention.

If you've seen the movie Shine, you may remember that the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #3 (aka the Rach III) was considered the most difficult piano piece ever.

Here's Trevor with what I would consider the second most difficult piano piece ever, the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2. I have listened to this now over five times and each time is as thrilling as the last!

In case you are wondering, That's Trevor on the front piano and his dad on the piano in the background.

ENJOY!
