She has been described by world celebrated pianist Antonio Pompa-Baldi as “[playing] with flair and technical prowess. Her keyboard skills are remarkable.”
During the global pandemic, Ms.Ma recorded the series of videos “Piano at Home,” many of which have been featured on the virtual Concerts & Cocktails to support the front-line medical workers and encourage social distancing.
