Led by artistic director and renowned composer Ma Jiuyue, the ensemble Sounds of China features an outstanding collection of contemporary Chinese folk musicians that blend the ancient and the new into an exciting musical mix both traditional and modern.
The group features a number of traditional Chinese instruments — such as the erhu (a two-stringed spike fiddle), liuqin (a four-stringed Chinese mandolin), xun (a globular, vessel flute), and pipa (a plucked four-string lute) — but breathes new, electrifying energy into the performance by reframing them with rock and pop elements. Electric guitars, synthesizers and a drum kit add to the effect.
This is an “all-ages” concert.
