Concert at Raphael House

We continued our 2026 Summer Concert at Raphael House today, and we had a wonderful afternoon with the seniors! Avery started the concert with a beautiful dance. She moved so softly and gracefully with the music, just like a butterfly dancing over the water. It was so pretty to watch! Next, Sihong and Lucy performed a pipa and singing duet called Big Fish, which is a very popular Chinese song. The beautiful pipa music and Lucy’s lovely singing sounded amazing together. Many people in the audience really enjoyed it. We also had lots of wonderful piano and violin solo performances by our talented young musicians. Every performance was special and made the concert even more exciting. At the end, Joanna finished the concert with a guzheng piece called Fishermen’s Song. The guzheng has a very unique and beautiful sound that is different from the other instruments we usually hear. Joanna’s fingers moved so smoothly across the strings that it felt like she was telling a story with her music. It made us imagine being on a peaceful lake with the fishermen, enjoying a great day of fishing. The seniors really enjoyed all of the performances and were so happy to spend the afternoon with us. Seeing their smiles made us happy too. We are so glad we could share our music and bring them joy! (Reported by Julianne Chung)
