Love takes place in all our lives, it is as universal and natural as life and breathing. Anyone alive can speak of love in one way or another. But it is not always pleasant. Just as it can bring joy and fulfillment, it can also bring sorrow and anger. The pain brought through heart break is just as much a part of love as the happiness found in new relationships.
Love Story explores those emotions in the medium of instrumental and vocal music. Six performers from China and America have come together to present these songs hailing from both Eastern and Western traditions. A world-touring Chinese Instrumental group Zhao Manli,Sun Yuming, Zhou zhou will play Japanese pieces exemplifying the light and soaring happiness of a new relationship. Yunnan Normal University Pianist Wang Dong Yang will perform Schubert’s Grazer Fantasie, a powerful and emotional romantic piece.
American performers Michael Peng and Dr. John Friesen will present Schumann’s Dichterliebe, a song cycle. Dichterliebe is German for ‘love poem’, and traces the feelings of a man for the woman he loves, from the first meeting, to heartbreak, to sorrow, to forgiveness. The 16 song cycle present the very best of Schumann’s powerful vocal melodies and complex, emotive piano accompaniments.
