(Reported by "Alberta Times" reporter Zhou Yishan) At 7:30 pm on February 1, as the last stop of this world tour, violinist Pan Jiaye and pianist Walter were held at the Chandler Art Center. Cosand's solo concert attracted more than 300 music fans, many of whom came from the outer suburbs of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. The entire concert was immersed in an elegant and noble atmosphere and was a complete success. Admission to the concert is free, donations are free. Many overseas Chinese friends came to enjoy this concert, and even more were music lovers from the United States. They come in pairs or with their families. Before the concert even started, Chandler Concert Hall with 350 seats was almost full. Violinist Pan Jiaye's "Butterfly Lovers" violin solo left a deep impression on the audience. The story of "Butterfly Lovers" has long been a household name in China, but it is still being promoted and improved on the American music stage, which is dominated by Western audiences. Such a beautiful and moving classic story is performed with Western string instruments, and the effect is equally extraordinary. In this concert, which mainly focused on violin, supplemented by cello and harp, violinist Pan Jiaye showed his proficient violin playing skills to the audience with his many years of profound violin playing skills. He used the melody of his voice to show the soul-stirring love story of the distant Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. During the thirty-minute performance, Pan Jiaye, who has many years of performance experience, moved freely on the stage and interacted friendly with the audience. The Western audiences in the auditorium were mesmerized, and together with the overseas Chinese audiences present, they experienced a spiritual sublimation that transcended the cultural gap between China and the West. After each song, the audience stood up and applauded for a long time, expressing their respect and praise for the hard work of all the performers including Pan Jiaye. The conductor of the "Butterfly Lovers" piece is conductor Zheng Xiaozhong. His commanding style is unique and well-known at home and abroad. After the performance, when reporters asked him for advice on his skillful conducting that dazzled the audience, Conductor Zheng, who is familiar with all symphony instruments, humbly introduced that conducting, like other industries, has its own professional and systematic career process and model. It is true that there is a sequence of learning, and there is a specialization of skills. The piano soloist in this concert is pianist Professor Walter Cosand. He presented the piano solo "Rhapsody in Blue" to the audience. The accompaniment conductor is the equally famous music conductor Jack Herriman. Their collaborative performance brought the audience into the picturesque piano melody, leaving them with endless aftertaste. During the nearly ninety-minute concert, the audience not only gained artistic sentiment, but also gained a timid weekend mood.
