Juliet Petrus and Lydia Qiu present an evening of selections from their 2015 debut CD release A Great Distance千里之外.’, sung in Mandarin and English. The evening explores the cross-cultural influence on art song by China and the West, with a program rarely heard outside of China, even more rarely interpreted by a Western artist. Petrus and Qiu are proud to return to their alma mater after completing a three-city tour of China, for this intimate evening of art song celebrating Chinese New Year.
