Sherry Kloss: Taiwan Tour 2009

I departed from the United States on April 8, 2009 from New York, Kennedy Airport for Taipei, Taiwan.

04/09: I was met at the airport by my former pupil Yen-Hsi Chen and her mother and was driven to my hotel. Moments after arriving into my room there was a knock on the door . . . I discovered 3 women: New Tang Dynasty TV and Broad Press International, (publisher of my book), welcomed me . . . along with a personal make up artist and a hairstylist. I was informed that in a matter of minutes we had to depart for a press conference announcing the new publication of my book, "Jascha Heifetz Through My Eyes" in Chinese, accept and play a violin from the luthier Mr Su on behalf of the NTDTV International violin competition. With joy and exhaustion I arrived, presented, played and then was truly ready to return to my hotel. But, there was more for me to do . . . as I learned that 3 violinists were anxiously waiting for me to teach them, and Luthier Mr. Su wanted me to try several of his violins!

Taiwan Concert

Aside from planned master-classes, others who observed the classes requested private hearings which I gladly provided at the hotel or other locations along the way. Members of the concert audience and master class audience requested personally signed books . . . some 50 at a time were lined up waiting for my arrival! Following the final concert others appeared at my hotel with tokens of remembrance and expressions of gratitude. I was ushered to the airport in Taipei and met by many others wishing me a safe journey and a speedy return to Taiwan. — Sherry Kloss
