There are many great composers in the music industry from ancient to modern times. Composition and improvisation are actually the same, the biggest difference is that composition is composed after improvisation, so every composer is in fact a great improvising musician. This is a concert that links music history time, style and human feelings. The concert adapts the music of seven great composers and will use improvisation to link each piece. Each composer had an untold story at the time of writing, and the adaptations in this concert are centered on that story, such as Bach's piece filled with personal faith, Mozart's piece dedicated to the many people he gravitated to, and Armstrong's trumpet piece both comical and with ideas of world peace. Jazz musician Huang Ye intended to create ambient immersive music when adapting the repertoire, using a string quartet to create the atmosphere of each story, then linking piano harmonies and clarinet melodies, in addition to the new visual art stage design... A blend of art, human storytelling, and music. The audience is about to be taken on an immersive journey into the world of composers and improvisers.
