DSSC Family, More Than Just Singing

中學時讀的國文「廉博老矣,尚能飯否?」
沒有多久,竟然可以用在自己身上了,不可思議!

我的疼痛
正如連着一個多星期的陰霾天氣
揮之不去
偶爾好一天半天
又恢復烏天黑地
何時放晴
還有得等

病人的情感是脆弱的
但我在過去一個多星期來
仍在疼痛的陪伴中不停地寫
即令在此刻也不例外

謝謝許多朋友的一再關懷
尤其是認識二十幾年的陳兄夫婦
親自開車來看我
令我感動得流下感激之淚

想念的聲音

想念的聲音
熟悉的旋律
全心的海天
好久不見的朋友
你們仍日出而唱
日入而息吧

你們用心唱
我會用心聽
用心想你們

Another Glorious Night for Daayo

The Daayo Spring Concert conducted by Dr. Sun (Symhony Orchestra) broke another record of verioty performance last night at the Charles W. Eisemann Center.

The first three music are all by Saint-Seans. This is a unique arrangement, one with twin pianos and one with a violin solo. All of them presented a high level of professional music skill.

As the Concert booklet said, Dr. Sun's 清晰俐落的指揮技巧, 細膩感性的詮譯風格, 與活力權威的掌控能力 is her key to succeed.

Congratulations!

An Email to My Daughter

Dear Lily,

Thanks for the addresses!

We spent the day yesterday with Rosa family and had a wonderful time.

Rosa took Mom and me to a Salon Concert hosted by Frederic Chopin Foundation Taipei. The founder of this Foundation is Professor Azusa Anna Fujita - a famous pianist most people in Taiwan know (In Chinese known as 藤田梓.)

This is a very special and relaxed concert of another kind, with full mood of a regular concert but without the "serious" atmosphere at all, the 50 to 60 attendants were comfortably sitting in a well designed small hall of a hotel room with soft lightening, enjoying tea, coffee, and refreshments while listening to the wonderful music from a lovely 6-grade girl, one of Azusa's outstanding students.

Except us three, most of the participants were famous guests in music field or Government officials and their families.

Program of the day was:

1. F. Chopin : Scherzo No. 2 Op. 31
2. F. Liszt : Rigoletto Paraphrase
3. Shooting Star for Soprano, Double Bass and Piano by this little musician Jessica Chang

Tea Break

4. Improvisations for piano and double bass

Rosa also turned in a melody (theme) and she composted into a 5-minute long beautiful piano music immediately without a moment of hesitating. This little girl is really a genius.

The concert was in the afternoon and it lasted one and a half hours. This is one of their monthly activities for March. Next one will be on 4/6 and, as a member of this Foundation, Rosa will go again.

In the evening we went to the Taipei International Lantern Festival after we enjoyed beef noodle at a famous noodle house.

There were tens of hundred lanterns of every kind, everywhere inside and outside of the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall Area. In addition to the spectacular main lantern there were also a beautiful "lantern tunnel", a student lantern section full of creativity, an international lantern section representing diverse world cultures, a folk art street festival, a riddle contest, and authentic local foods.

Though this was the last second day of the festival, it attacked thousands of people, shoulders rubbed against each other in the crowds.
