Playlist for an (absent) Nobel Peace Prize winner

The World

American violinist Lynn Chang will play at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony on Friday. Chinese dissident Liu Xioabo won’t be able to attend the ceremony; he’s being held in a Chinese prison. Chang tells us why he’s chosen the songs in his set-list and whether or not he views the concert as a political affair, a musical event ? or both.

Lynn’s playlist:

Jasmine Flowers
Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon
Salut D’amour
