C'est l'amour translated as "This is Love" was Yann's first Malaysia recital on 6th Jan 2017. After 20 years performing, teaching and adjudicating abroad, Yann brough her passion of music and love back to the place where she was born. The recital saw a crowd of audiences enjoyed an enchanted musical night and left with a warming heart filled with love. It's the same ambition that Yann set for this recital and with all the smiling faces from the audience, we knew she did it!
"After all these years of performing in Australia, I am ready to come back and perform for the family and friends whom I love in Malaysia" - Extract from Yann's interview by The Edge.
