We're really excited about this concert: we're going to be presenting two new arrangements of Western pieces for Chinese traditional instruments to explore our own range and to let some of the new composers working with us gain a further familiarity with Chinese instruments. You'll have a chance to hear the love theme from the Godfather and Antonín Dvořák's Humoresque no. 7 featuring guest cellist James Waldo and erhu soloist Wang, Yang. And, of course, we'll be presenting traditional Chinese art pieces, in both the chamber and full orchestra contexts. We hope to see you there! |
