Masters Play III - Beyond the Music Boundary @WEIWUYING
Moonlight's gentle kiss, adorned in sunset,
Dawn's first light, a warbler's tune, whisper of a blossom's heart,
From tender grace to sorrow's ache,
Each tale weaves time,
Tides of youth rise and wane.

The roster includes selections from the repertoire of songwriting virtuoso Johnnybug CHEN, known for his keen understanding of feminine sentiments, and mesmerizing vocalist Where CHOU, celebrated for her tender and enduring voice. They are accompanied by the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra and the Natus Cantorum, both delivering performances with their full arrangements.
