Sung Jin Hong, music director/conductor of the One World Symphony, commented: “Life is Beautiful” is a work that strikingly connects with our current crisis in its portrayal of restoration of harmony after discord.” The two Chekhov’s stories full of witty humor and lighthearted irony, piercing lyricism and a unique way of storytelling. “My She” and “Life is Beautiful (to Those Who Attempt to Commit Suicide)” are musical monologues, based on the theatrical principles of development.
