The Conservatory is pleased to note that MM composition student Lan Shi's work, Xizhou Song for piano trio was commissioned by the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music and was performed, March 20, 2019, in Quzhou, Zhejiang province.
Lan Shi notes, Xizhou Song is taken from the famous phrase in the Southern Dynasty Yuefu, “The Southern winds know me, blow dreams to Xizhou." The theme of the folk song temperament is divided into several moments, appearing in different musical backgrounds, growing, running through, until the end is fully presented.
