“Winds may blow and snows may snow ”(风会刮,雪会下) “And clouds may come and hide the moon”(乌云会遮住月亮) “Still we know that someday soon”(我们依然相信不久的将来) “Spring will come again”(春天会再来)………. 一个年轻的声音正在演唱这首由美国作曲家Leonard Bernstein作曲的“Spring will come again”。 7月10日周日下午在万声堂的创始人、歌唱家和声乐教育家万兵传和黄靖㦤两位老师的筹划指导下,他们的学生们再次在Zoom云端为波士顿的朋友们献上“自由与梦想”夏季音乐会。 记得去年大约也是这个时间,我在zoom上观看了万声堂“和平与安宁”夏季音乐会。时光如梭,一年的时间转瞬即逝,在这一年里,新冠病毒就像天空中翻滚的乌云遮天蔽日风雪交加,给世界带来了可以载入史册的黑暗与严冬,2020年人们最期盼的就是“和平与安宁”。一年后的今天,疫情终于接近尾声,学生重新走进课堂、商家重新开门迎客、旅行者重新背上行囊、阳光重新洒向大地,就像歌中唱到的“Spring will come again”。2021年万声堂再次预祝人们的是“自由与梦想”。
