Happy New year everyone. I sincerely wish all of you who are reading this right now that 2021 will bring you joy, peace and above all, good health.  A great news to share with you---I am very thrilled to be the featured harpist of the latest recording "Classic Blend" by  City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong .   I recorded Schoenberg's "Notturno" and Bill Connor's "Dance Round the Moon" when I was the principal harpist with the group.  Congratulations CCOHK of your achievement!

Here is a recent review of my harp CD Longing by Mr David Olds, Editor of DISCoveries, Whole Note Magazine, Canada:   http://www.thewholenote.com/index.php/booksrecords2/editorscorner "Another disc perfect for a quiet mood is  Teresa Suen ’s debut CD  Longing ( teresasuen.com ) . Suen has the distinction of being the first Chinese harpist to obtain a Doctor of Music degree......While the music is more or less modern – including works by Paul Hindemith and John Cage – it is surprising how mellow the overall feel of the disc is. .......   Suen has chosen a well-balanced program focusing on calmness and warmth, beautifully played. She will be a welcome addition to the local music scene."

Happy New Year of the Rabbit everyone! May the year brings you prosperity, good health and great joy in your life!
