Dream's Synopsis and Program Dream Piano Drama for Two Pianos, Violoncello and Dancers Concept by Sabrina He Wed March 21 8pm USC Newman Alfred Recital Hall Art Directors: Performers: Kenneth J. Foster Classical Piano：Sabrina He Stewart L. Gordon Jazz Piano：Paul Voia-Tipei Rachel Fine Cello：Cristina Basili Jun Xu Dance：Jordan Johnson，Jessie Lee Thorne Introduction By filming the adaption of music performance combined with visual experience, this program showcases the fascinating intertwining of visual and sound culture that creates a unique, stunning performance full of visual delight and listening pleasure. The jazz music in the show symbolizes the hero’s unrestrained, humorous attitude towards life; the classical music signifies the innocent and romantic character of the heroine. The collision of different styles of music, interwoven with dance expressing the inner world of the characters, show the audience the combination and conflict of reality and fantasy in life. Not a single word will be spoken by the characters as they allow the expressions of music and dance to tell their story. The music will guide the developing love story, showing the audience a brand new artistic form of piano drama in a captivating auditory and visual feast. Synopsis Sabrina, a young girl, has a happy childhood growing up in a wealthy and cultured family, full of longing and anticipation of the outside world and her future. She lives a carefree life, believing that everything in the world is as beautiful as a dream. One day, she meets the gifted pianist, Paul. Sabrina is deeply attracted to his handsome features and talent. She feels that Paul is her prince charming and Mr. Right. The two quickly fall in love and start to dream of a happy future together. Over time, the differences in their understanding of the world and their pursuit of life come to light. Paul aspires to live a free and unrestrained life, hoping to travel all over the world. On the other hand, Sabrina is satisfied with the happy and intimate world of just the two of them and thinks that it is enough as long as they have each other, not wanting too much adventure or drama in her life. The once happy couple quarreled over these slight differences, which gradually grew to huge conflicts, creating an irreconcilable gulf between them. Paul left. Sabrina became very sad, depressed and struggled in pain, until one day, she accidentally comes to the spot where they first met and recalled many happy memories. She suddenly realizes that life is just like that – how finding the life you desired does not go as planned, but if it is meant to be, one day fate will bring your love and dreams to fruition.

Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making.
