Interactive Chinese Performance


For the second consecutive year we were fortunate to welcome two masters students from Longy School of Music to a member's home for an interactive concert. This year the topic was Chinese music. The students performed various western classical and Chinese classical music pieces. They also discussed differences in sound between western and Chinese music and taught us about the Chinese music scale. By the end of the session, we were all singing a Chinese melody with Chinese lyrics. Although we may not have perfected our inflection or music skills, we all learned a lot and had fun doing it. We are grateful for our partnership with the Longy School and look forward to our next opportunity to provide an audience to their talented students!
