在去年底倫敦 Philharmonia Orchestra 的一場音樂會上的節目單上， 看到了 Kit Armstrong 的名字和照片，仔細讀他的介紹， 讓我驚歎不已，這麽年輕，音樂藝術才華橫溢，我們平日多看到聽到的是音樂神童的演奏天才， 而 Kit Armstrong 不僅在演奏上有天分，還作曲， 但他的才華還不止在音樂藝術上， 他在科學，數學上也表現了極大的興趣，展示他的天分， 日前他在巴黎大學學習純數學
Kit Armstrong 的母親是來自台灣，父親英國人，五歲正式學習鋼琴和作曲，七歲 part-time 加州
名的德國鋼琴家 Alfred Bredel 的關門弟子之一 .
他的鋼琴演奏範圍比較廣：從巴赫的： 48 Preludes and Fugues from the Well-Tempered Clavier ， 貝多芬的 15 鋼琴奏鳴曲，到莫紮特， 海頓， 勃拉姆斯，肖邦， 舒曼，巴多克等的曲目
作曲方麵： Celebration 交響曲， piano solo, tro, quartet, string quartet, wind quintets ， a concerto for clarinet and orchestra ，曲目之多之廣讓人讚歎，
不久他將在倫敦與 Philharmonia Orchestra 演奏貝多芬的第三鋼琴協奏曲； 與享有盛名的，也是最古老交響樂隊的萊比錫 Gewandhaus Orchestra 巡回演奏舒曼的鋼琴協奏曲。
現在年輕一代的藝術家不少是跨界的， 這是 21 世紀的獨特的現象嗎？好像不是， 遠的古代，古希臘， 古中國不說， 巴羅克時代就有不少音樂家就是身兼詩人，音樂家，數學家，建築家等於一身， 不管怎麽說 Kit Armstrong 是不可多得的音樂人才 , 也許是我們太習慣從鋼琴競賽過三關斬六將出來的演奏家了吧。
