GCC will be adding special music to the Sunday afternoon service at Presbyterian Village senior living center. The service is open to the public. All are welcome.

This performance will feature a special guest soprano: UGA DMA student Dongyang Li.

Dongyang Li, soprano, is a Doctor of Musical Arts student in Voice Performance at the University of Georgia, where she studies with Dr. Elizabeth Knight and serves as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Voice Area. A native of China, she earned her Bachelor’s degree from the China Conservatory of Music and her Master’s degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

Li has appeared in recital and concert both in the United States and China. Her recent performances include songs by Ernest Charles, Roger Quilter, Ernest Chausson, and Franz Liszt. Equally at home on the opera stage, she has sung roles such as Micaëla (Carmen) and the Countess (Le nozze di Figaro).

Passionate about connecting cultures through music, Li actively promotes Chinese art songs and plans bilingual recitals bridging Eastern and Western traditions.
