Concert at Raphael House

On a rainy and cloudy day, the performers from Music and Love brought warmth and joy to their favorite venue, the Raphael House. The event opened with an exhilarating rendition of Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, performed by violinist Momo Sasaki, followed by the lively and colorful Spanish Caballero played on piano by Andrew Yang. Despite the gloomy weather outside, the music quickly lifted the spirits of everyone in the room—and beyond. This performance was especially meaningful as it marked Music and Love’s very first livestream, with online viewers enthusiastically cheering them on with thumbs up and messages like “Great job!” It was a beautiful reminder of how music can brighten even the darkest days and bring people together, both near and far.
