Piano: Stanley Wong ; Pianist • Photographer • Artist • Teacher Website: http://stanleycp.weebly.com Karen Tanaka "Sensation" (2022) for piano * Hong Kong Premiere Inspired by Arthur Rimbaud’s poem of the same name evoking sensuous and fresh images of summer evenings, his dream of escaping into nature, a sense of freedom and infinite love, and his ardent desire to journey as a bohemian to places he has never seen. Rimbaud completely stopped writing poetry around the age of twenty. He later traveled extensively in Africa and the Middle East as a merchant and explorer.
