In an enchanting talk and performance, singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Yijia Tu traces a path from the world’s biggest stages to a family lullaby passed down through the generations, showing how music carries memory across centuries and cultures. Blending East Asian folk traditions into modern sound, she shows how honoring tradition isn’t worshiping ashes — it’s keeping the fire alive.
