親愛的同胞們和朋友們:
請允許我借此機會祝你們節日快樂!我想和大家分享我的一些想法,或許對你的生活有參考價値
克利夫蘭藝術博物館2011表演藝術節,特邀著名音樂家楊惟和他的樂隊分別在12月7日及12月8日(星期五)演出。楊惟演奏了琵琶,洋琴和阮。吳微(音譯)演奏了笙。王洪(音譯)演奏了二胡,管子和馬骨胡。毛一民(音譯)演奏了笛子。這種經歷對我來説眞是無比興奮,演奏之精美,觀衆之熱情和掌聲之熱烈,均難於言表。
令人痛心的是,如此演出,華人觀衆,卻聊聊無幾。帶孩子來欣賞名家表演傳統中國音樂的家長,亦是屈指可數。據藝術節主任Massoud
Saidpour説,楊惟一行亦在愛城(Akron)演出。大約200多孔子學院的學生,前來觀看音樂會。學生們全場起立,對精湛的演出欣賞無比,並抱以熱烈的掌聲。
我常納悶,爲何在克利夫蘭藝術博物館或克利夫蘭交響樂團的演出,華人光顧者總是聊聊無幾。就我所知,華人父母投資不少,爲孩子請私人老師敎鋼琴或小提琴,但卻不知讓孩子欣賞名家表演的價値。我鼓勵你們重新考慮這種演出對孩子們的價値。
克利夫蘭交響樂團在日本或歐洲演出時,儘管票價不低,總是搶購一空。克利夫蘭交響樂團,近在咫尺,票價合理,眞乃榮幸。
我期望今後能看到大家前來克利夫蘭藝術博物館或克利夫蘭交響樂團欣賞表演。
你是否到克利夫蘭藝術博物館看過”革命年代的藝術--傅抱石(1904-1965)"的展覽
該展覽即將結束,並移至紐約大都市博物館續展。切莫錯過良機!
再次祝大家節日快樂!
嚴雲泰 敬上!
Dear Countrymen and Friends"
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Holiday
Season. I want to share with you my thoughts that may add value to
your lives
The Cleveland Art Museum's Performing Arts 2011 invited Yang Wei,
the world renowned Chinese musician and his Ensemble performed on
12/7 and Friday 12/8. Yang Wei-played pipa, yangqin, ruan; Wu Wei-
played sheng; Wang Hong played erhu, guanzi and maguhu; Mao Yimin
played dizi. It was a most exciting experience for me. I cannot
describe how beautiful it was as well as the enthusiasm and applause
received from the audience. Sadly enough, a handful of Chinese
attended this remarkable performance and only a handful of Chinese
parents brought their children to hear this traditional Chinese
music performance by highly acclaimed musicians.
According to the Director, Massoud Saidpour, Performing Arts: Music
and Film of Cleveland Art,Museum Yang Wei and the Ensemble also
performed in Akron, where over 200 students affiliated with the
Confucius Institute attended the concert. They gave standing
ovations and the biggest cheer in appreciation of the Chinese Music
performance.
I often wonder why so few Chinese attend the performance at
Cleveland Art Museum or at Cleveland Orchestra. I know Chinese
parents invest a lot of money to provide private lessons for their
children to learn piano or violin but they do not see the value to
bring their children to listen the famous musicians that perform. I
encourage all of you to reconsider the value added to your children
and yourselves to come to such performances.
When the Cleveland Orchestra played in Japan or in Europe it was
always a sold out event at very high priced tickets. We are so
fortunate to have the Cleveland Orchestra right here with very
affordable ticket prices.
I am looking forward to see your participation in future performance
at the Cleveland Art Museum and Cleveland Orchestra, Have you seen
the Chinese Exhibition :"The Art in Age of Revolution: Fu Baoshi
(1904-1965)" at the Cleveland Art Museum? Soon the exhibition will
end and move on to the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Please do not miss this opportunity.
I wish you all a happy Holiday.
