On Sunday October 5th Stellae Boreales performed in a benefit concert called “By Youth For Youth” supporting school children affected by the China’s earthquake. It was at Carleton University. The proceeds will be used to deliver sports equipment and musical instruments to the schools. It was a great privilege for us to perform as we traveled to China just three months ago.
Our first piece was Romance by Shostakovich while our second was “The Butterfly Lovers” which is a famous Chinese piece we learnt especially for our trip. Other performers included other string musicians, pianists, vocalists and dancers. The pieces were a mix of classical and Chinese folk music. It was a very successful concert and a very worthwhile cause.
