This is always what I did,&#8221; said Lecturer of Piano Dr. Yuecheng Lu. &#8220;I wanted to share with the world and let all people know that it doesn&#8217;t matter if they&#8217;re a musician or not, I want them to enjoy the music.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always great to connect and promote our wonderful female faculty and staff,&#8221; Yang told TrojanVision. &#8220;It&#8217;s the connection between the poetry and the music, even though the poetry was recited in a different language, it doesn&#8217;t matter. The whole piece is the way that the faculty recites the poetry, and it is just a piece of art. That&#8217;s what is really lovely, beautiful and attractive to everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Evening of Music and Poetry was in honor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshistorymonth.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Women&#8217;s History Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TROY, Ala.
