O’s Notes: Master violinist, composer Jason Kao Hwang gives us a musical, autobiographical sketch on Soliloquies, a solo collection. He’s playing a Pizzicato Violin and reflecting on his Chinese American heritage, the sometimes unintelligible language of his parents, their broken English, cultural experiences and the joys and pains of his life. The twelve selections are more orderly than random, and easy to comprehend along with the titles.
