Lincoln Center - The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma

| This almost remind me of the Cinderella story where everyone leaves the castle after the 12 o'clock bell rings. |

| The pool fountain in front of the castle is where wishes have come true/dreams have been crushed. |
Layering is the only way to get through this vicious winter.

I went to Yo-Yo Ma's concert the weekend after Valentine's Day. My
friend happened to have an extra ticket so he was kind enough to bring me
there. Lincoln Center is by far one of the most beautiful places I have been to
in New York City. It's the glass window all the way to the floor, it's the
fountain with dreamy lighting, it's the events happened/happening here, and
it's the talented people and participants that made this place so special.
The performance of Yo-Yo Ma's concert surrounded with the concept
of the Silk Road, one of my favorite periods/events in the history. I think it
is one of the earlier versions of globalization. Due to the need/want of
trading silk, tea and spices, people took camels and walk all the way through
the Far East (Japan and China) through the Middle East all the way to Milan,
Italy. The commerce ventured through the Silk Road that inspired Yo-yo Ma. He
came up with this idea of combining the various exotic music, instruments and
musicians with Western Sting orchestra to perform music in a way that creates a
different kind of spark. Although I don't think I am someone who enjoys String
Orchestra too much. I am absolutely intrigued by this concept of fusion music
style because I think in a way it symbolized the fusion of different culture.
Imagine the communication through music between the talented musicians who have
these language barriers but somehow managed to work together and perform
inspiring music that draw people coming from around the world to appreciate.
I had such a great time that night.
