Tea Time Concert: Wenting Shi “Time Travel”

Join pianist Wenting Shi on a captivating musical journey through “Time Travel.” We’ll begin in the elegant 18th-century Vienna, where the classical sophistication and playful humor of Haydn will transport us to an era of grace and refinement. Our voyage then takes us to early 20th-century Russia, where the emotive richness of Romanticism reveals the soul of a transformative age. Finally, we arrive in the 21st-century USA, where the vibrant rhythms and spontaneity of modern jazz bring our journey to a dynamic conclusion. Experience the evolution of music from classical to Romantic and beyond, culminating in the energetic sounds of jazz. “Time Travel” promises to be a truly eclectic and immersive exploration through music history.
