What kind of sparks will be created when a piano meets a book? Have you ever listened to a concert in a bookstore? What kind of wonderful atmosphere would it be if a pianist played live for you while you read?

On the occasion of the 29th World Book Day, international piano artist Wu Muye held a reading session in a bookstore he often visited. Piano and books met beautifully, reflecting and blending with each other.

Wu Muye provides readers with an opportunity to spend a wonderful time surrounded by books and music, allowing everyone to feel the dual charm of reading and music.

In the fast-paced life, fragmented reading has almost become the norm. The reason why Wu Muye chose to move the concert hall to the bookstore was to create a relaxing environment.
Let everyone slow down to read a powerful book, calm down and listen to a melody that heals the heart, and feel the great satisfaction of the spiritual world through music and words.
In this audio-visual reading session, the songs selected by Wu Muye are all melodies suitable for readers to listen to while reading.
He also specifically requested that there be no stage for this music reading event, so that the music could be brought to the readers. At the scene, book lovers sat on the ground and experienced this unique music reading event together.
Wu Muye performed 6 wonderful pieces on the spot.
Among them is the timeless classic piece “Moonlight”, in which Wu Muye heals the audience’s soul with his vibrant notes in the quiet atmosphere of flowing water and the fragrance of books. 
There are also his original piano pieces “Rose” and “Fate”, in which Wu Muye’s piano music travels through time and imprints the trajectory of fate in the hearts of every audience.
In the interweaving of music and books, the books seemed to be awakened by his performance, as if they had come to life, and together they created a space full of poetry and imagination. Wu Muye received long-lasting applause and cheers from readers and listeners for his outstanding skills and warm performance.In addition to the audience and readers who watched the performance closely on site, there were also a large number of music fans interacting online across the screen. In less than 20 minutes, the number of people online for this live broadcast of classical music exceeded 200,000.
In the past, Wu Muye often came to Sanlian to read books.
In an interview with CCTV’s “News Network” about the performance at this music reading concert, Wu Muye said:
“I am a loyal reader of Sanlian. I often ride my bicycle here to choose my favorite books. I am familiar with the environment here and love the books here. Coming here today, I feel like I’m home. By putting the concert here, I can better interpret each piece of music.”
In this noisy world, music and books are a channel for us to see the world, all living beings, and ourselves.
Let listening to music and reading become a habit. We can feel the resonance in reading, regain confidence in music, and have the courage to continue to love life.
