Songs for a New World is about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back. With a rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, featuring tight harmonies and darling vocals, Songs for a New World transports audiences from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land, to the ledge of a New York penthouse.
Duo Beaux Arts (Dr. Catherine Lan & Steinway Artist Tao Lin) presents a concert featuring some of the most famous and beloved masterworks for piano duet and piano solo. Program will include three duet compositions: an early work by Beethoven, a perennial favorite by Bizet, and a virtuosic power-horse by Mendelssohn. Solo works include witty and lyrical selections by Poulenc, and all time favorites by Chopin. Duo Beaux Arts presents 100 concerts domestically and internationally each year. Season highlights includes recitals at the prestigious Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C., and in Canada and Hungary.
