Piedmont Opera and Wear Yellow Proudly will present a free concert "Girls of Yellow Diamonds: Songs of Asian-American Women." Following the performance, a reception will take place in the lobby. Tickets must be reserved in advance.
Presented by artists affiliated with the nonprofit Wear Yellow Proudly, the performance features Asian women composers and poets to raise awareness and uplift the stories of Asian women. Performing songs in Mandarin, Korean (with translations printed in the program), and English, classical singers Alice Chung and Helen Huang will take us on a poignant musical journey with local accompanist and WFU adjunct professor Dr. Yong Im Lee Federle.
This is a sponsored project of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County and funded through ARPA supported by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners.
