From Victoria to Beirut

Alison Yun-Fei Jiang, "Yun Shui" (2025, world premiere)
Waleed Howrani, "Alma Mater" (1998)
Alexander Maloof, "Ruins of Balbaak" (1917)

Pianist Thomas T. Feng presents a benefit recital in solidarity with the people of Lebanon. The four works on the program conjure memories and landscapes, from Victoria to Beirut. Clouds, mountains, waters. University halls and clock towers reopening after disaster. Ancient ruins, still standing, amidst new ones. Imagined folk tunes from somewhere – anywhere – between the Salish and Mediterranean Seas.

Admission by donation. All proceeds go toward Humanitarian Coalition, a Canadian-registered group of charities providing humanitarian aid in Lebanon and across West Asia.
