The evenings artist, Ms. Jennifer Yeung, is a native of Toronto and a former concert pianist. With contemplative lyrics, lush harmonies, intricate melodies and a penetrating voice, Yeung delivered a breathtaking performance while keeping interludes light hearted, engaging and humorous. The theme of "The Many Faces of Love" explores the idea that whatever we do, the way we behave, if you boil it down, it is a call for love. It is fundamental in everything you do. [the artist]
