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
