The Bells of Nagasaki Still Call the World to Pray for Peace

I met Anli, who was born in Taiwan and lives in southern California, at a retreat this summer for “Artists and Art Lovers” hosted by the Benedict XVI Institute. Anli played for the attendees there, from every artistic discipline, and talked about the trajectory of her musical life. She relayed how the idea of doing a piano recital on the theme of bells to honor her father had been percolating for a while, but a hand injury had kept her from performing for over a year.
