The MIT Cambridge Chinese Choral Society proudly presents its 2019 spring concert, “Passion and Glory,” featuring masterworks of European composers.
Led by music director Dr. Yufen Yen and accompanied by Dr. I-Ying Lin, this musical journey starts in the Romantic period in Germany where Brahms, with his sentimental and passionate melody of “Zigeunerlieder,” or “The Gypsy Songs,” brings us a taste of the happiness and sorrow that spring from a heart full of love. Afterward, a selection from contemporary British composer John Rutter explores the mystery and paradox of life. We then
conclude our concert in Baroque Venice with Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria. Performing with a chamber orchestra, we will bring you the full rendition of this joyful hymn of praise and worship to God.
Come join us for a magical night of traveling through heaven and earth with music, and experience the spiritual glory and passion of love that has resonated with humanity through the centuries.
