Heritage and Harmony: Asian musicians

Thanks to WQXR and Donna Weng Friedman for the wonderful project “Heritage and Harmony” and for including me in this celebration of Asian and Asian-American musicians. They asked me to choose a short work by an Asian composer and make a video of it, with a spoken intro about my background. I played “Dramatis Personae” (2016) by Anthony Cheung and talked about my Taiwanese mom and her path in “classical” music. Anthony made a video talking about his piece and the complex influence of his heritage on his work.
