“Thank you so much Lang Lang International Music Foundation for welcoming me to the Young Scholar’s Program, Class of 2018-20. It’s an honor and a privilege to be selected to participate in this wonderful foundation, to have the opportunity to study with Lang Lang and to be able to collaborate with other Young Scholars. Music has the power to unite people, while allowing one to express feelings and emotions in a way that few other forms of communication can. This opportunity will allow me to share my passion for classical music performance with a wider audience and to continue to grow as a musician. I can’t wait!”
New York Concert Review lauded Jasper’s “astounding lyricism,” “pianism that would be the envy of anyone two, three, even four times his age,” and “deep emotional bond with the music” in its review of his benefit concert for MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation program for wounded soldiers.
