Music and science resonate at the "This Sounds Like Science" event

On June 16, the science event "This Sounds Like Science" took place at City Recital Hall, Sydney, Australia.

Historically, the development of ecosystems has been associated with a slow evolutionary process to adapt to environmental change. With the current rapid climate change, will the species have time to adapt to the new environmental conditions? What is the future of the species is? The message of the inseparable connection between humanity and nature strongly expresses in the conference's content. Not beyond the audience's expectations, the artists' performances within the framework of the event were highly appreciated and brought unexpected resonance and connection with the hot topic throughout the event.

Select two masterpieces of composer Franz Liszt, "Vision" and "Harmonies du Soir" two works that require complicated and complex techniques with continuous movement of sound at high speed, skillful hands, the ingenuity of Pianist Luu Hong Quang has brought the audiences' emotions from deep to sublime moments with music.

Still, with an elegant, confident, and romantic performance style, the performance of Pianist Luu Hong Quang left a beautiful impression in the hearts of the audience.

Sharing about the content cohesion of two works, "Vision" and "Harmonies du Soir" by composer Franz Liszt with the theme of ecology in climate change, Pianist Luu Hong Quang wrote:

“Vision” with the endless transformations of its singular melody from the darkest to the brightest shades is a powerful musical statement in reinforcing that our planets’ species are also evolving with climate change, so we too, must have a vision of getting ready for the changes and do what is necessary"

“Evening harmony” a composition with a panoramic scope of emotional range, from the most intimate, to the most majestic and triumphant.. will end our event today with a warm reminder that we must do everything in our power for the harmonious coexistence of our species and mother nature."
