The Le Van Family Musicians, right here in Brea.

I have been listening to Michael Le Van play Jazz Piano for the past 15 years.  He is one of the most talented pianist I have ever heard. Playing with the kind of passion that gives you the chills and just makes you smile without realizing it. I was told that Michael's incredible talent ran in the family. One day Michael was kind enough to invite me to his 50th birthday bash at his brother Eric's house. Eric Le Van is  a renowned international classical pianist and has 3 amazing talented children. On April 28th 2010, Solene LeVan age 12, was a Gold Medal Winner at the International competition of the American Association for Development of the Gifted and Talented at Carnegie Hall. Sarah Le Van, age 14, Sarah has performed with many orchestras and has given over 500 performances since the age of 7. Sarah and Solene have been seen on Disney Chanel, Pax TV, Fox and KDOC.
Sean Le Van, age 9, is a fine pianist who just won the Silver medal in the annual competition of the American Association for the Development of the Gifted and Talented, and performed at Carnegie Hall in April 2010, along with sister Solene.
So back to this Birthday Party. Because this is Michael's Party, there was a jam session in the living room with Michael's Trio and many other musicians that would jump in. Among these musicians were the entire Le Van family. I was amazed. I actually had tears in my eyes when the daughters performed.  How does one family end up with so much talent? It is just a part of them. Like walking or breathing is for the rest of us. They make such complicated music to perform, seem so easy and sound so amazing.
Well I found out now, that this same family is performing right here in my stomping grounds. Beautiful downtown Brea. If you want something different to do this Friday or Saturday, other then the same old same old, I highly suggest this, as it will be one of those nights that becomes an unexpected and wonderful surprise. Just as it was for me.
