杨柳青青江水平，闻郎江上唱歌声。
东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有晴。

Willows are green, river is calm;
I hear a man singing on the river.
Sun on the east but rain on the west,
Is it going to be a good day or not.

The concert "Echoes of Ancient Tang Poems" was jointly performed by iSING! Suzhou and the Philadelphia Orchestra, which premiered in Philadelphia on Jan 6 and was held in New York on Jan 7. Fifteen singers from 10 countries led by Liao Guomin, a conductor from Macau, interpreted newly composed songs based on well-known poems from the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
