Available online starting Thursday, May 28 on WQXR.org

In collaboration with WQXR, I am honored and so very proud to present Heritage and Harmony, a unique virtual concert featuring leading musicians of Asian descent performing contemporary and traditional works by Asian composers.

The concert is both a recognition of the tremendous contributions to the musical canon by classical musicians of Asian descent, and also a reminder of the need to stand together against mindless intolerance.

Heritage and Harmony launches on Thursday, 5/28th, here:  https://www.wqxr.org/story/heritage-harmony/

All the performances were recorded by these outstanding musicians while sheltering at home.  Among the featured artists is two time Grammy award winning composer Christopher Tin, does Baba Yetu, from the video game Civilization IV sound familiar? 

In honor of Asian Pacific Heritage Month and beyond, from our homes to yours, we stand together in Heritage and Harmony!
