Asian Soundscapes • Special Concert

While Cupid is in the spotlight on Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 14, the library is also welcoming in the Fire Dragon and Chinese New Year with a special concert performance.  The community is invited to this free concert which will be held at noon in the Rogow Community Room. The trio set to perform are all virtuosos in their craft.

“Asian Soundscapes” is directed and composed by virtuoso Chinese pipa player and singer Min Xiao-Fen, joined by Mari Ohta, a sensational Japanese koto player, and Amy Xin Yin, a rising voice in contemporary percussion. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, Min crafts soundscapes where ancient strings echo through modern rhythms, flowing with the harmony of the seasons to weave emotion, balance, and drama into a seamless journey of sound. Together, the trio bridges tradition and innovation, guiding listeners through a landscape where past and present sing as one.
