Photo for Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
The China Youth Corps (CYC) Wind Orchestra is touring the United States and stopped by the IBM building at 590 Madison Ave to play during the lunch hour in the atrium within the building. This kids were very professional and sounded great to my classical music layman ear. The orchestra played compositions created in Asia such as the Taiwanese folk song "Spring Breeze from Taiwan" (youtube) or "Happy Sailing March" by Yeh Shu Han. The second, and final stop of their tour, believe it or not, is Cincinnati, Ohio on July 11th!? Why a famous city like NY and then a smaller midwestern town like Cincy, I am unsure.
Why this for the Daily Photo? I'm always grateful when artists play in public spaces and in turn I'm giving them recognition and praise on my website.
