A memorial service for Samuel Hsu was held on December 8, 2011 at Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA, where he served as a deacon and elder.

The church videotaped the service and each segment is linked to YouTube for viewing.

The instrumentalists who performed were those who most frequently collaborated with Dr. Hsu, and all of the pianists were his students.
