Music Encounters the World | Lecture-Recital by Professor Pavel Raykerus
Time: May 30, 2025, 19:00–21:00
Location: Chengdu ASEAN Arts Center Concert Hall (ASEAN Small Concert Hall B-2003)
Free admission! All faculty and students are warmly invited!
Stardust from musical scores falls into the universe of art—
Baroque pearls locked in notation and Romantic fireworks
Now resurrect at his fingertips.
Professor Pavel Raykerus, with a scholar’s rigor and a poet’s reverie,
Deciphers art’s DNA in the gilded filigree of variations,
And salvages lunar rhythms from the virtuosic torrents of character pieces.
Tonight, the serenity and mystique of Czerny’s works will be reinterpreted,
As we step into a corridor of time—
Where Classicism’s sanctum meets Romanticism’s whirlwind.
We await you on this journey through musical epochs!
