Hong Kong is finally represented!
This year, Kam-Fung Fan and I are the first ever Hongkongers to qualify AND actually played in the Andorra International Saxophone Competition. The number of participants is the highest this year and the overall difficulty was arguably the highest as well. We did not make any further at last, there were more challenges than I anticipated: reed changes due to climate, anxiety due to the fact that there were lots of audiences live and also on YouTube, etc. Still I am happy with my performance and I got the first taste of international competitions. I have learnt so much from everyone in this festival.
Nevertheless, Andorra is an amazing country to discover, such a nice place with unique mountain terrain, beautiful views and decent weather. Will definitely plan to be back in the near future.
