Classical pianist Donna Weng Friedman always treats audiences to the beautiful Waltz in C# minor by Frederic Chopin. Not only because it is lyrical and uplifting - and the perfect encore piece, she offers it as an homage to her late father.
Sin-tzu Weng was born into poverty in China.
"He was a blue baby - umbilical cord tied around his neck. S they threw him in the garbage," she said.In his early twenties, Weng immigrated to New York where he worked punishing hours for pennies. His spirits started sinking when he splurged on a radio.In addition to concert pianist, Weng can now add filmmaker to her resume. 'Never Fade Away' is about her father's American dream as it pivots around one in a spring waltz.
'Never Fade Away' makes its premiere at NYU Tisch School of the Arts on May 31 and will continue running until June 2.
