【2022 Weiwuying International Music Festival】WANG Pei-yao - Luminous Shadow
Memory can be luminous so as to cast shadow in time. Certain memories in life are so profound that they need to be slowly brewed and carefully tasted, similar to the process how literature is penned, music is composed, or photography is developed.
Inspired by the bestselling novel The Stolen Bicycle written by WU Ming-yi, pianist WANG Pei-yao seeks to explore a new dimension of literature and music through the complexity of life itself. Musicians WAMG Pei-yao, William Wei, laureate of the Queen Elisabeth International Violin Competition, and Victor COO, the Filipino-Chinese cellist, perform pieces by the Eastern European composers JANÁČEK, LIGETI, ENESCU, and KODÁLY. Some of the pieces were based on rural folksongs collected by the composers, which then inspired them to produce compositions of their own. This process is akin to the way readers experience different languages phonically throughout the novel. The music reflects the elaborate setup of the novel to evoke the audience's deep hidden emotions.
Luminous Shadow had its world premiere in 2021Taiwan International Festival of Arts（TIFA）in April 23rd, 2021.
Post-talk
2022/4/16(Sat) After performance at the Recital Hall.
