Global Music Award Silver Medalist on violin Yang and pianist Olivia are a dynamic violin-piano duo who create an unforgettable storytelling event in their program, featuring contemporary and classical works from different parts of the world. Yang & Olivia perform a program that will include SUMMER RAINS.

The concert features winning art songs set to poetry by Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay. R. Michael Daugherty won with his submission of “Bee! I'm expecting you!” from A Wagtail Dance for soprano and piano. I wrote this about the song cycle: “When bees return to the hive, they need to communicate the location of suitable flowers, such as clover, to the other members of the hive. They do so by "dancing' in a figure-eight pattern. Emily Dickinson's bee poems personify the bees, making them seem like important characters whose exploits should be carefully observed. The cycle begins with a letter to a bee, with the piano part imitating an insect in flight."
