在美国,有许多极有才华的旅美华人音乐家,如谭盾、马友友等。他们象闪烁在大洋彼岸夜空中的一颗颗熠熠发光的星星,又象是一座座横跨大洋的彩虹,为中美音乐文化的交流、发展作出了卓越地贡献。今天,笔者再向大家介绍一位这样的“星”和“虹”,他就是曾轰动大洋彼岸的盛宗亮。 盛宗亮是一九八二年由上海移居美国的。当时他年尚二十又七,血气正盛。美国,既非地狱,亦非天堂,初入美国,不要说他在那儿求事业的发展,就是要在那儿站住,也非容易。困难象大山,一个接一个的横在他面前,譬如:语言关、入学考试关、职业关等 In the United States, there are many extremely talented Chinese musicians in the United States, such as Tan Dun and Yo-Yo Ma. Like gleaming stars shining in the night sky across the ocean, they are like a rainbow across the ocean, making an outstanding contribution to the exchange and development of the musical culture between China and the United States. Today, I will introduce one such “star” and “rainbow” to everyone again. He is Sheng Zongliang who once made a sensation on the other side of the ocean. Sheng Zongliang immigrated to the United States from Shanghai in 1982. At that time, he still twenty years and seven, blood is Sheng. The United States, neither hell nor paradise, first entered the United States. Do not say where he was seeking for a career there was no easy way to stop there. Difficulties like the mountains, one by one in front of him, such as: language clearance, entrance exam, occupation, etc.
