to hear his wife play, yet at the same time penitent about not being able to perform with her.

“I am happy to see her perform,” Shin said. “Yet I’m sad that I’m not up there with her.”

An ended the concert with a piece by a composer who had no French influence, but still a well-known classical Russian musician, Tchaikovsky.

Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto in D Major Op. 35” is considered one of the most difficult violin arrangements in classical music, yet An skillfully executed the task without so much as a flutter or error.

When asked about her motivation for performing at the Concert at Pierce events, An’s response was simple.

“It’s the audience,” An said.

“That’s what gives me the energy I need to perform.”

Coming up next week is the second edition of the Pierce Student Concert, where the student body will be displaying their talents yet again May 15.

Movie Night: Pierce phones home

Farm Center hosts ee weekly starlit cinema

Matt Gottesman Roundup Reporter

Woodland Hills locals cozied up at Pierce College’s farm to catch a free outdoor movie and peruse a weekly farmer’s market Friday, May 9.

The third night of the Farm Center’s Certified Farmer’s Market and Movies on the Farm featured an under-the-stars showing of “E.T the Extra-Terrestrial” and offered a place for independent merchants to set up shop on-campus.

Kelly Alexander, 22, who was selling Dolce Monachelli’s Italian bundt cakes, drove from Orange County after getting an invite from Agriculture Department Chair Leland Shapiro.

“This was a big mission for us,” Alexander said. “I think it would be a good market because there’s a lot of activities, you know? It just needs to be promoted.”

The farm keeps its rides up and running for the events, and ride operator Sydney Stecker, 17, said the nighttime cinemas attract a crowd.

“The movie that we’ve doing, it brings a lot more people,” Stecker said.

Cedrick Austin, 19, took a detour with some friends to check out the festivities.

“We came to see E.T. tonight. It was so crazy,” Austin said. “We were just driving by on the Orange Line, happened to see a huge sign out front.”

Leia Marino was selling cookies freshly baked by CaveGirl Cupboard. She said she anticipates business to pick up as the summer rolls in.

The next Movies on the Farm will feature “The Blind Side” Friday, May 16 at 5 p.m. at the Farm Center

“There’s more traffic tonight than any other night,” Marino said.

Adam Chase, 26, who lives a block from the intersection of De Soto Avenue and Victory Boulevard where the event took place, said he keeps an eye out for the farm’s goings-on.

“Most of the time we walk,” Chase said. “You can literally stand at the front and see how it’s gonna go.”

Nathan Mardigian, 29, who coowns Nuvo Olive Oil, gave a rundown of his company’s organic extra virgin offerings from his booth.

“There’s three different intensities, then we make a Meyer lemon and a blood orange,” Mardigian said. “A good olive oil should be fruity, pungent and bitter. A balance of all three.”

The Certified Farmer’s Market and Movies on the Farm event is scheduled every Friday from 5 – 10 p.m. through September 19. It’s free to get in and next week will feature the 2009 football flick “The Blind Side.”
