橫豎是美

大学时代分别进入台北爱乐管弦乐团，同属木管乐器的两人，座位一前一后，佩筠有事可以用脚踢晓贞的椅子，甚至拿起单簧管就可以敲到晓贞的头。但真正相熟，是始于一年一度的欧洲旅行，两人足迹遍及土耳其、冰岛、西班牙……，在每次长达半个月至一个月的时间里，培养出迷路也分不开、斗嘴也吵不散的友谊。这回她们跳脱精湛的古典乐技艺，以横竖是美的交心、诚恳与默契，将她们脑中时时绽放的旋律，举重若轻地吹到你的耳边，让你的心在安定中飞翔。 Played in Taipei Philharmonic Orchestra’s woodwind section while both still in college, Pei-Yun seated right behind Sarah. They often started a chit-chat session with Pei-Yun’s kick from behind, or a knock on Sarah’s head by the clarinet. But it was their annual Europe backpacking trips that really bonded them together. Between a fortnight or a month, their footsteps would travel across Turkey, Iceland, or Spain… Their friendship grew so strong that side-squabbles only bring them closer and they always got lost together but never did they lose each other. Blasted off from the superb finesse of Classical technicality, Beauty in the Cross brought to you the variably blooming melodies that present to you with such alleviation; they’ll set your heart off for a tranquil flight.
