The program will have two parts; the first one is candle lighting with a musical performance. East Meets West Music Arts will present several chamber pieces by Schumann, Rachmaninoff and Samuel Barber, and also a choral work by Fengshi Yang and Cheyo Wang. The second part is a lecture. The two guest speakers are: Mr. Wenqian Gao, from New York, the author of "Later Life of Chou En-Lai", and Mr. Yongyi Song, from Los Angles, the Chief-Editor of "The Culture Revolution" Database. The lecture part will be mainly conducted in Chinese, however, a brief English translation in writing will be provided.
