7pm: Voices in Motion: Echoes of the Soul Featuring Hyeonbeen Ha and Terry Yeh The program opens with J.S. Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2, transcribed for viola—its voice unfolding in quiet solitude, marked by tranquil vulnerability. From this inward stillness, the music turns toward Korean identity through the expressive intimacy of Korean art songs, where memory and nuance intertwine. Warmth deepens in the resonant, heartfelt language of Florence Price, each phrase shaped by lyric depth and emotional clarity. The journey culminates in the passionate romanticism of Vieuxtemps, where expression expands with ardor and sweep.

Together, these works trace an arc of introspection, heritage, and song—an intimate voyage through voices both personal and universal.

8pm: Where Melody Lives Featuring: Melanie Nicol, mezzo-soprano, and Carlina Dykstra, piano A journey through music that lingers; songs that feel instantly familiar, deeply human, and impossible to forget. From Parisian chanson and Italian wit to Irish folk echoes and German Romantic lyricism, the program traces how melody carries memory across cultures and centuries.
