A Travel Symphony – Romantic Memory & Celebration

Cover image from A Travel Symphony – Romantic Memory & Celebration
From the original post on Koffeemocha.

A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

Kefei arranges a journey through Germany as four musical movements, from an outdoor concert in Berlin to opera in Bayreuth, an intimate piano performance in Bonn, and a return to Koblenz. Music provides a language for the trip’s changing emotional pace.

Written in English, Chinese, and German, the essay celebrates thirty-five years of life with his wife in America and the memories that familiar places gather over time.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
