【Weiwuying Anniversary 3.0】Chat, between Strings and Piano
As if playing at the "Remando al viento - Don Quixote" concert was not enough, the three soloists doubled down with an exclusive OPEN HOUSE chamber music concert. Breaking concert traditions, the three musicians, more casual and fascinating, will present pieces like J. S. BACH's Cello Suite No.1 in G Major, which is the best-known of his six Cello Suites; contemporary composer HALVORSEN's adaptation of HANDEL's Passacaglia, which gave a new-century flare to Baroque music; American composer Paul SCHOENFIELD's Café Music, a trio that blends styles of various regions from Vienna to Broadway. Last but not least, CHEN Ting-chuan's Salute! WWY! invites you to celebrate Weiwuying's birthday.
