Jen Shyu — mistress of various Asian string instruments (and also a mean pianist) (she sings and, of course, composes, too) — creates these pieces that are more theatrical presentations than recitals.  And they really draw you in.  This one deals with, on the heels of her 40th birthday, the death of her father and her patronage of a fertility clinic.
