This soon-to-be-staged spectacular evening of great music and dancing will be enlightening experience for the appreciative audience as it is inspired by a poetry anthology titled Silent Tears, written years ago by world-renowned spiritual teacher, humanitarian and artist Supreme Master Ching Hai.  

Liel Kolet

Award-winning playwright Cynthia Ferrell noted, “What interested me most in Loving the Silent Tears honestly was the poetry. The poetry is so beautiful and the message of the poetry, it’s so consistent throughout the piece, and the nuances of it are gorgeous and it’s just so inspiring. It just makes you come to the project with a happy heart.”

Brian Joo

Taking a unique approach, multiple eminent 
composers have come together to set Supreme Master
Ching Hai's soulful verses to soaring melodies: 
6-time Grammy winner and 2-time Oscar nominee 
Jorge Calandrelli (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), 2-time 
Oscar winner Al Kasha (The Poseidon Adventure), Emmy winner Doug Katsaros (Footloose), 2-time Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Henry Krieger (Dreamgirls), Tony and Emmy winner Don Pippin (Oliver!), Grammy winner Nan Schwartz (Harry Potter), and Oscar and 2-time Grammy winner David Shire (Saturday Night Fever). With the sheer volume of brilliant musical minds so generously pouring their creativity into the score, it’s evident that music lovers are in for a treat. 

Liz Callaway

Jon Secada will also be debuting a song that he
composed for the musical, based on 
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poetry. He said, 
“I think the audience will find listening to the lyrics 
of the songs, which are from Supreme Master 
Ching Hai's poems, a transformative 
and enlightening experience.”

Mark Janicello

Platinum Chinese pop singer, the versatile Kay Tse 
(Hong Kong's songwriter, model and actress)-who
is honored with Hong Kong's prestigious "Media Award 
-Performer" and praised as the "Grassroots

beautiful poetry as lyrics, and accompaniment
