Bravo on a wonderful performance this afternoon at Bower Museum! Your music was beautiful and your lecture very educational and fun. I had no idea that there are so many hu instruments.

Linda/San Diego Int'l Music and Arts Festival Committee

Dear Ms Han,

Have to tell you that I have gotten so many compliments on your performance that I wish I could have taped them for you to playback. Besides, both men and women mentioned your beauty and presence on stage!

Your program was the highlight of the evening and we were so fortunate to have you be a part of this year's Festival.

It's so good to put a face -- and person -- to music I've heard and really enjoy. Your playing is so expressive. Makes me want to write music for the Er-Hu. I appreciate the soulful beauty you bring out in your instrument. Keep up the good work.

This seminar/demonstration was great the other night. I really learned a lot. Listened to one of the CD's so far. Really enjoying it. What a lovely instrument the Erhu is.

What a blessing. . . to hear you play last night (at the SCL's seminar). Thank you for taking the time to share with us. You've got my head and heart full of ideas!

I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your presentation at the SCL seminar. Also "The Golden Butterfly" CD is full of variety of styles. It's not only great performance, but it's also very educational for me to know what Er-hu can sound in many different settings. My works appear in film, TV, and video games, and I would love to bring your beautiful melody to my projects one day!

Just wanted to thank you for your presentation at AFI last night for the SCL. How moving, beautiful and enlightening your presentation was. I am not a composer, but came as the guest of a friend, and I'm certainly glad that I got to see you perform.Your passion and love for your music and your instrument is quite evident. As "ambassador" for the Er Hu, you certainly showed its expressive range, and deep, soulful intimacy.Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.

It was a pleasure to be able to meet you at the SCL seminar yesterday. Great performances! I also feel great that you have made the Chinese people feel proud and I'm definately one of them.

Manuel & Gloria Quintana

Just a note to again thank you for a wonderful performance at Cerritos with Hiroshima. As much as we like Hiroshima, it is that much more beautiful when you are part of the program. Perhaps, the next time you play with them, you can play the entire program. Just a thought !!!. Of course we love Hiroshima too, but your music is special.

Karen: You are so fabulous! The variation of the songs you played last night at Doctors Day Celebration by Alhambra Hospital is also superb. I love them all, especially the very first one and Celine Dionss My heart will go on. Very touching and beautiful.

It was a pleasure meeting you at your concert on Feb. 4, 2006. I confess that I had never heard of your instrument before. The sounds you produced from the instrument were incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your play and loved your music.

As a past student of Ms. Han, I can attest to her patience, her true love of the instrument - the erhu - and her effort in bringing the beautiful sound of this instrument to the Western world.

Never have I heard a musical instrument that reaches in the soul of a person. Humble and beautiful. Karen, hope you will someday visit Canada (Ottawa to be specific) and share your wonder of music with us.

I saw your performance in Pittsburgh PA recently, it was excellent! I doubt still if there is anything quite like the sound of erhu, and how you express it so lovely in your unique way. Thanks again for the great performance.

After 52 years of living, an erhu fell onto my lap! I am a novice erhu player in Kona, on the island of Hawaii who practices every day, like any good kid. Your playing is a magnificent example of erhu magic, I hope that fate allows me to meet you some day
