Over the weekend, CCIP J-1 interns (www.theccip.com) visited one of New York City's most iconic performance venues, Carnegie Hall. The group attended a performance of Inspirational Liaisons, a concert series that was originally started in Hong Kong.
The group was gifted free tickets to the performance by an alumni of the University of Hong Kong, one of CCIP's partner schools. The concert featured chamber music by Vaughan Williams, Maurice Ravel, and George Gershwin, all 20th century contemporaries who inspired each other's compositions. Each of the ensemble's six performers are classically trained and have received wide acclaim for their talents.
Describing the evening, Julian from Nanyang Technological University said, "It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see a concert at Carnegie Hall. You hear about it all the time, but actually being there: The atmosphere was ecstatic. Best concert of the year!"
Missy from Nanyang Technological University added, "The performers were all so talented, and the music was beautiful. I'm so grateful I had this opportunity."
