Program Notes
Symphony No 1 is Wang Jie's most personal work: a journey from yearning and tempest to peace
A poem was written at the same time Wang Jie was working on the Symphony, thus the subtitle:
Awakening
On the night of Carnival, Our fragmented hearts met
By the time truth inflames the wound And you reach out to truth I discover, I have been drawn to you
By what brings us to ache, Not what we celebrate
–Wang Jie
Premiere
April 14th 2008

Curtis Symphony Orchestra Kuok-man Lio, Conductor
