The Aptos Keyboard Series proudly presents highly acclaimed Korean pianist Ko-Eun Yi, winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition. “...a fantasy world of shimmering sounds and colors...flawless and dazzling...” Ko-Eun has earned praise for playing with “élan and fire and a surplus of bravura technique” (Cincinnati Enquirer). She has garnered numerous top prizes in her young career, including First Prize victories at the World Piano Competition in Cincinnati and the Wideman International Piano Competition in Jackson, Mississippi (both in 2010). The Washington Post applauded her recent debut recital in DC: “a masterful technician … Her finger-work was immaculate, inner voices were keenly drawn out, and there was no lack of power when needed.” Ko-Eun will perform works by Scarlatti, Debussy, Beethoven and Liszt.

About the Aptos Keyboard Series at St. John's
Our Mission: to promote gifted young pianists and offer them the opportunity to perform in a concert setting.
Our History: Artistic Director Josef Sekon, longtime music teacher at Cabrillo College, hosted concerts in his home and other local venues for the past several years. Several St. John's parishioners actively supported this artistic venture in various ways, from hosting musicians to providing financial support, and, of course, serving as a loyal audience. So when the concert series began to outgrow a "house concert" size, St. John's was a logical place to look for a new home. To begin, a parish member has loaned the church a Steinway piano to do justice to the level of the musicianship being shared.
St. John's is delighted to partner with Josef Sekon in presenting the Aptos Keyboard Series, henceforth to be known as "The Aptos Keyboard Series at St. John's." It is our hope that we can expand the opportunity from a house concert with an audience of 35 to our larger venue as St. John's, with our wonderful acoustics. And we hope to maintain the intimate atmosphere of a “Salon Setting” for upcoming concerts.
If you love listening to world class piano music in a relaxed setting please come to this series of Sunday afternoon concerts. We are delighted to accept financial support to help promote these young guest artists in our own community.
