I really enjoyed the music played by this trumpeter. It was loud, lively and really engaging. This young musician really knew how to play that trumpet. Thank you for few minutes of an excellent entertainment.

This Asian musician has made Martin Place his concert hall now for a number of months. However, I have yet to see anyone at all listening to his music. The instrument he is using produces rather high pitch tones, which I would not call melodic. His music is also very quiet, which perhaps is a good thing. Maybe I am ignorant of this style of music.

This musician was playing in front of Queen Victoria Building. Now, I personally do not consider a mandolin as great contemporary instrument for self expression but this young man thought otherwise. Playing his mandolin music, as if it was the best of Gibson guitars he poured his heart into the performance.

Few days ago I have mentioned this guitarist playing opposite Town Hall. Today I saw hit taking praises from one passer by while another one had a less positive opinion about his music skills. Or, was that tongue directed at me?

There was something surreal about this old Chinese musician playing a traditional instrument in front of the Sydney Fashion Festival tent. So close in distance and so distant in the cultural heritage. The was piece of paper you see at his feet is sheet music.
