Each work tells a story of creation—moments when composers first captured a spark of emotion, memory, or imagination and transformed it into music that continues to resonate today.Taiwanese pianist Ashley (Yutao) Liu brings her expressive depth and refined artistry to this journey, guiding us through a program that spans Romantic intensity to poetic intimacy:Yu-Hsien Teng—Yi-Chih Lu: Longing for Spring Breeze Known as the father of modern Taiwanese music, Yu-Hsien Teng (1906–1944) composed songs that captured the voice and soul of Taiwan during the early 20th century. Longing for Spring Breeze is one of his most beloved works, later arranged for piano by Yi-Chih Lu. The song tells the story of a young woman sitting by her window on a spring evening, waiting in vain for her loved one to appear. Surrounded by the gentle breeze and blooming flowers of spring, her loneliness and yearning only deepen. Rooted in folk-inspired lyricism, the piece expresses both the beauty of nature and the sorrow of unfulfilled love, while Lu’s idiomatic piano writing allows the work to bridge traditional Taiwanese song with the expressive power of Western pianism.R. Schumann: Fantasie in C Major, Op. 17 Schumann’s Fantasie stands among the towering monuments of the Romantic piano repertoire. Composed in 1836 during his painful separation from his lover, Clara Wieck, the work embodies both personal passion and universal yearning. The first movement unfolds as a sweeping outpouring of love and longing, veiled with fragments of a theme from An Die Ferne Geliebte(For Distanced Beloved) by Beethoven—an homage to the composer whom Schumann revered. The second movement, a vigorous march, displays Schumann’s rhythmic energy and heroic drive. The final movement offers quiet transcendence: a nocturnal meditation that fades into hushed stillness, as if love has been sublimated into memory and dream. Together, the three movements create a narrative of emotional struggle, triumph, and ultimate serenity.E. Granados: Goyescas, V. El Amor y la Muerte(“Love and Death”) Love and death walk hand in hand in this music. Spanish composer Enrique Granados (1867–1916) drew inspiration from the paintings of Francisco Goya for his piano suite Goyescas. The fifth piece, El Amor y la Muerte, is its emotional centerpiece. The piece begins with passionate song—tender yet burning with desire—only to be shadowed by ominous harmonies and dark colors. As the music unfolds, one hears the struggle between ecstasy and tragedy, until finally love collapses into silence, overtaken by death. It is Spanish Romanticism at its most intense: music that reminds us that passion and loss are inseparable.F. Chopin: Nocturne in E Major, Op. 62 No. 2 Written in 1846, this late nocturne epitomizes Chopin’s poetic refinement. A graceful, flowing melody opens the piece, delicate yet full of hidden longing. Soon the calm is disturbed by restless harmonies, a sudden turn toward darker, stormier moods. When the opening melody returns, it is transformed—richer, more fragile, as if touched by memory. This nocturne, one of Chopin’s last, feels like a farewell: tender, wistful, and deeply human.R. Schumann-F. Liszt: Liebeslied(Widmung from Myrthen, Op. 25 No. 1)Join us as we uncover the origin stories behind these masterpieces and experience the emotional landscapes that shaped them, brought vividly to life by Ashley Liu’s artistry. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/walpole/piano-concert-with-ashley-liu/100001963461430995 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts, health-wellness, meditation, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fpiano-concert-with-ashley-liu-tickets-1963461430995 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 10, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Walpole - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: United Church in Walpole - **lat**: 42.1441232 - **long**: -71.25257239999996 - **full address**: United Church in Walpole, 30 Common Street, Walpole, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: United Church in Walpole (https://allevents.in/org/united-church-in-walpole/24412735) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/8e776bdf4418227a976f16a96aea794a459fcef19dbd815b9d510bfe457bd7cf-rimg-w1200-h675-dc040404-gmir.jpg?v=1762455742 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/27fcfcd617612b864a0ba9950253deeb78e27f2494597bf08043dad305c54a27-rimg-w400-h400-dc071118-gmir.jpg?v=1762455741 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sun, 23 Nov, 2025 at 03:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** United Church in Walpole, 30 Common Street, Walpole, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 10 up to 10 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** United Church in Walpole - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** music, entertainment, concerts, health-wellness, meditation, art, fine-arts - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Piano Concert with Ashley Liu ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Piano Concert with Ashley Liu", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/8e776bdf4418227a976f16a96aea794a459fcef19dbd815b9d510bfe457bd7cf-rimg-w1200-h675-dc040404-gmir.jpg?v=1762455742", "startDate": "2025-11-23", "endDate": "2025-11-23", "url": "https://allevents.in/walpole/piano-concert-with-ashley-liu/100001963461430995", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "United Church in Walpole", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "30 Common Street", "postalCode": "02081", "addressLocality": "Walpole", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.1441232", "longitude": "-71.25257239999996" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Discover the “origin stories” behind timeless masterpieces as pianist Ashley Liu brings Schumann, Granados, and Chopin vividly to life this", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-23", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "10.00", "highPrice": "10.00", "price": "10.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/walpole/piano-concert-with-ashley-liu/100001963461430995" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/walpole/piano-concert-with-ashley-liu/100001963461430995", "price": "10.00", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "United Church in Walpole", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/united-church-in-walpole/24412735", "description": "United Church in Walpole been in the heart of Walpole for hundreds of years; and while our history is old - our thinking is not.
