Ms. Kuo has a great interest in the hauntingly beautiful repertoire of early 20th Century Chinese art songs, which are often featured in her recitals.  We recently heard them at some the Maison de la culture NDG in Montreal, at the Accès Asie Festival, and at the marvellous Champagne Concerts series for the Vancouver Triad Music Society.
