https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO436mPGQasZGvWBGTikI1A
2. Description:
"Shades of Love" is an exploration of love through music by composers from around the world, such as Italian composer Giovanni Sollima, Taiwanese composer BEN, Chia-Fu YU, Dutch composer Chiel Meijering, and Danish composer Rune Tonsgaard Sorensen.
3. Fun fact:
You might also hear some short love stories from Taiwan, which is a small island country in the pacific ocean!
4. What is special about this program?
The special thing about this program is that it includes several important elements about February that we should all be aware of:
1) Valentine's Day - you will experience all kinds of LOVE through music by different composers around the world.
2) The Lunar New Year celebration - you will hear some traditional Taiwanese folk songs. Taiwan is made of people from several different ethnicities, including the dominant Chinese heritage.
3) Black History Month in February - we included one very lovely and fun song by a famous African American musician. We promise that you will love it.

Description:
Throughout centuries, string quartet music has gone through a lot of interesting styles and metamorphosis. However, it is still one of the most loved forms of chamber music that has the ability to speak to people directly. We are bringing you music that comes from simple ideas and practices that have existed for centuries but with very unique touches and approaches by several living composers. The composers from this program come from various cultural backgrounds, including Nubian, Russian, Argentinian, Italian, Austrian, Indian, and middle eastern cultural/musical influences. You will be able to have a glimpse into their culture and artistic identity through their music.

“Moving Music” is the first collaboration between Dr. Yi Chun Lin’s Sioux Falls Chamber Music Collective (SFCMC) and Angelina Gibson’s ArtiTänzer Project (ATP).

Join two artistic forces in their exploration of music and dance’s intertwinement.
