Lois Shapiro – Jasmine Flower

Posted: May 4, 2020

We are sorry that we had to cancel our April 2020 concert. We hope to reschedule it for Spring 2021.

Pianist Lois Shapiro offers this music to share with you. Lois wrote this arrangement of the Chinese folk song, Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower).

 

Lois said: I wrote this recently for one of my Chinese Wellesley College students who was unable to get a flight back home to her family and was homesick. And also as a gift for an ESL Chinese student of mine, her husband and her parents; they have extended family in China, about whom they were quite worried. This was my way of “reaching across the divide” to express connection, as we are all in this disaster together. There is no “us” and  “them.” We all drink from the same spring, as fellow human beings.
