Concert at Kensington Park (The Groves)

This Sunday afternoon, we had the pleasure of visiting the Kensington Park Senior Center. This is the first time we have been here. Even though the weather was scorching and muggy, there were still about 17 young musicians coming to give their enthusiasm, and 2 of the families came all the way from Virginia. We also had 6 new friends joining the Music and Love family. The seniors and staff were very friendly and warmly greeted us, making us feel truly welcome. Everyone worked really hard and put a lot of effort into preparing for this valuable opportunity. The performance started at 2 pm, with the beautiful sound of Chopin’s nocturne, played by the young musician, Allie Rui. We also had an exciting duet, brought by Eileen Zhuge and Elizabeth Chung. They played Isabella’s Lullaby, an amazing heartfelt song. The performance concluded with a light-hearted partita from Bach played by Chris Wang. The performance was enriched for both the performers and the audience, creating a memorable and heartwarming afternoon for everyone. It was wonderful to see how much happiness was brought to the seniors by our playing, and we hope to visit them again soon. (Reported by Christopher Wang)
