Mu Phi Epsilon Kansas City Alumni Chapter

We managed to be very productive at our social gathering this past Monday: We wished a warm yet bittersweet farewell to Dr. Yi-Yang Chen as he heads off to Chicago for his new appointment as Associate Professor of Piano DePaul University, we celebrated alumni member Regina Tanujaya’s birthday as it happened to land on the same day, and we honored our immediate outgoing alumni President, Shulin Guo, for her many years of service for our chapter. (A MPE commemorative pin was presented to her later that day in person as she wasn’t able to join us at the gathering.) Lively conversations, laughs, food and a little FIFA World Cup ⚽️ all rolled up into a very memorable day. 💜💜💜

There was significant Mu Phi representation at this year's MTNA Conference: Alumni member and Xi chapter faculty advisor Yi-Yang Chen delivered a captivating presentation on four-hand piano works by East Asian composers. Alpha Kappa Chapter member Andreas Landstedt was awarded 1st Place in the Young Artist Composition Competition and performed his piece at the Winners Concert. Alumni member F***y Po Sim Head presented on curating multicultural concert programs. Alpha Kappa President Naren Palomino Pardo, along with collegiate member Daniel Eduardo Corredor Silva, collaborated on a discussion regarding the incorporation of South American rhythms in piano repertoire. So much Mu Phis doing great things in the music world! 💜 Phi Epsilon Professional Music Fraternity
