Performance Note:
In 2023, she started on a concert journey with the theme Singing in Love, where she drew artistic inspiration and power from different types of love (family and friendship love, passionate love, altruistic love, etc.). The vocal works of the programme have been elaborately selected from different countries and periods. Languages include English, Italian, German, French, and Chinese. This is a great opportunity to appreciate the charm of music from different countries, languages, and cultures.
