“Identity-Zhongshan Zhuang” is the result of the East-West collaboration between music producer Victor Cheng and Hollywood composer Michael Gordon Shapiro. The three-movement symphonic piece embodies the spirit and emotion of the difficulties countless Chinese families have overcome during the past hundred years. It honors the strength it takes to maintain one’s cultural identity in the face of adversity, and the universal struggle to move forward when everything one loves has been left behind.
To celebrate this fresh new concerto, rising conducting star Maestro Case Scaglione and his renowned Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra team up with the Beijing-based guzheng virtuoso Chang Su to deliver a breathtaking blend of extraordinary Asian and Western music. Now in its 55th year, the Debut Orchestra brings a history of more than 41 world premieres and a rich Western Classical foundation to complement the Chinese heritage and whirlwind skill of Chang Su. Together Scaglione, Su and the 75 orchestra members pour their passion into the very touching and unique Identity concerto.
This memorable evening of intercultural music will also include several guzheng solos by Chang Su and the YMF Debut Orchestra's performance of Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser.
「中山裝」一曲交響樂以感人肺腑的音樂描述海峽兩岸分隔的親人對歷史的追溯和至死不忘的骨肉情。曲中主人翁是國共戰爭時期一位王姓國民黨將軍。他43年前痛別妻女隨軍撤退到台灣，臨終前囑咐當年隨他到台灣的兒子將他的骨灰與半個世紀前他妻子幫他縫的中山裝帶回大陸給他心愛的妻子，也帶去了他的中國心與民族情。
歷史的浪潮滾滾向前。中華兒女秉承時代使命，共同振興中華。這是長久以來幾代人的願望。 |
