An original score by emeritus music Professor Robert Garwell was the highlight of a concert in the prestigious Shanghai Concert Hall in July. It was performed by Artist-in-Residence José Feghali and  Yuan Xiong Lu, associate professor of double bass and director of chamber Music.
The score, “Shanghai Legend,” was originally composed as a concerto for double bass and orchestra, was revamped for double bass and piano for the Shanghai performance. It was  enthusiastically received by the sold-out audience and broadcast live on the Shanghai radio’s weekly classical music series and webcast internationally. The hour-long performance included selections from composers Nazareth, Debussy, Schubert, Shostakovich, Koussevitzky, Liansan and Chopin. The faculty also presented a lecture to the Shanghai Concert Hall Music Appreciation Club.
