Originally built in 514 BCE, Suzhou has over 2,500 years of rich history, and relics of the past are abundant to this day. The city's canals, stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed gardens have contributed to its status as one of the top tourist attractions in China. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1279), it has also been an important centre for China's silk industry.
The classical gardens in Suzhou were added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and 2000. Suzhou is often dubbed the "Venice of the East" or "Venice of China".

Mezzo-soprano Natalie Bancroft is the quintessential beautiful young Diva, a distinguished female singer who imbues her vocals with dramatic force.
The Italian classical & jazz pianist Raimondo Campisi is the archetypal musical artist with a communicable, somewhat unruly, joie de vivre.
Together they make music – beautiful music – stuff from the soul.
The creative duo comes to us straight from Europe where they tour extensively, performing in jazz haunts and on classical stages. Most venus are on land – but oftentimes when they rehearse, they do so at sea. (Being a night owl, the spirited Campisi tired of neighbors complaining when he trilled on his piano past the midnight hour. So he made a sailboat into a home, installed a piano, and pulls away from shore when playing the ivories. Natalie eagerly joins him for the floating rehearsals, singing to her heart’s delight.)
How’s that for European flare!
Come August 4th, Bancroft and Campisi share their musical talents with Spencer patrons in a summer’s night voyage of lush arias and jazz standards. The concert program will include works by Rachmoninoff, Verdi, Gian Carlo Menotti, Prokofiev, Chopin, Alexander Scriabin, Camille Saint-Saëns (with Bancroft singing the arias and songs in their original English, French, Italian, German and Russian librettos) as well as jazz classics by Gershwin, Bernie, Nina Simone and others. Patrons will recognize many of the melodies like “Route 66,” “The Man I Love,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Summertime” and “Impossible Dream.”
Natalie, the granddaughter of the late Jackie Spencer, last graced our stage in 2006, singing her vast repertoire to a full house of music lovers. Daughter of theater trustee Hugh Bancroft III, she was born in California, but has received the bulk of her musical training in Europe, where she lives with her husband and child.
The multi-lingual artist began her vocal studies at the age of 10 and decided to pursue opera training starting at age 16. She began her classical vocal studies in 1998 with Pamela Bowden, in London, and also studied briefly under Gloria Davy in Geneva. She proudly completed her professional studies – receiving honors for her interpretation of Mahler’s “Kindertotenlieder”-- in 2007 at Lausanne’s l’institut de Ribaupierre under Ioana Bentoiu.
But it was with Campisi that she discovered the world of jazz, and since 2000 has shared her rich mezzo with his clear, but warm, piano interpretations.
Campisi, a musical prodigy born in Egypt to Italian-Greek parents (both distinguished musicians in their own right), has performed more than 1,000 concerts in such renowned venues as La Scala, Milano, Teatro di l’Opera in Rome; on radio and TV broadcasts in Monte Carlo, Spain, Switzerland and Italy; has composed a number of original works, is a multi-award winner on the international scale and is a recording artist.
As the Parisian journal Le Monde has said: “...Campisi seems not to belong to his age. His refined pianism… ascending in a contained dimension of sound, is always warm and expressive and bring us back to faraway times, to an amusing and naïf atmosphere.”

This young Classical gent is apparently killing off this bat-like dragon with the head of what MUST be Medusa although it sure doesn't look like it. I couldn't fit the entire statue in the shot without falling off a balcony, but there's a funny bit you're missing out on: there's a young naked lass underneath the dragon, so if Classical Lad is indeed petrifying the dragon with Medusa's face, the young naked lass is going to die very suddenly on account of there is going to be a lot of weight on her in a few seconds, what with the combination of a giant stone creature and a young hero pressed on her belly. Apparently our young hero is not good at Planning Ahead.
The old mills ingenious mechanics is admirable.
