01
Tian's Musical Voyages
Multi-media Concert Series
2020 - current
Multi-media concert series with curated program to bring the audience onto musical voyages, integrating paintings, poetry, photography, narration, and other multiple interactions to create an immersive experience. This is a project I started in 2020 during the pandemic. When traveling was restricted, I decided to bring people onto various epochs and realms through music. Past programs included themes such as "Meandering in Nature," "Four Seasons of Music," "The Gardens of Van Gogh and Monet," "From Classical to Impressionism," and "Songs from Foreign Lands."
02
Interactive Piano Workshop
2019 - current
Interactive Piano Workshop is a pedagogical project I have initiated since 2019. Building on the foundation of traditional lectures, it incorporates interactive elements to foster an open and inclusive atmosphere, and a sustained sense of participation that invites audience members to join in the discussion of piano learning and practice.
Interactive Piano Workshop is highly practical and improvisational, with each session varying depending on how the audience members engage.
03
Music and Film
2024 - current
Dive into the world of music through the lens of cinema, with twenty lectures featuring a curated list of films from various genres, directors, and composers.
As a musician and movie enthusiast, I am captivated by the interplay between visuals and sound - their ability to both complement and contrast one another. It's also a treasure hunt for hidden classical music gems within films!
04
Ariarts Salon Series: Conversations of Music and Beyond
2024 - current
A salon series that features a designated topic each time, aiming to create a stimulating and supportive community.
I always believe in the power of exchanging ideas and broadening perspectives with individuals from diverse fields. We share and we gain. It is both an external exploration and internal unification. Past participants have included writers, photographers, scientists, sociologists, and fashion designers. Our community continues to grow.
