LOS ANGELES, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Shanghai Sonatas - A New Musical in Concert, based on the memoirs of Jewish refugee musicians who escaped Nazi Germany and found refuge in Shanghai, China, in the 1930s and 1940s, made its world premiere Thursday night in Los Angeles County, the United States.
The musical, conceptualized and composed by Chinese musician Sean (Xiang) Gao, is based on the first-person accounts of those Jewish refugee musicians who used their optimism, humor, and musical talents to survive, forging friendships with their Chinese neighbors who saved their lives.
