"A Night in Ancient and New China"
Wu Man and the Shanghai Quartet explore the great music of China in a program that features a new multimedia work by the eminent Chinese composer Zhao Jiping, in collaboration with his son, Zhao Lin, performing some of his most famous scores of Chinese cinema - "Raise the Red Lantern," "To Live," and "Farewell My Concubine," among others. They also perform a suite of traditional Chinese folk songs arranged by second violinist Yi-Wen Jiang and solo pipa works by Wu Man. Looking back to their roots, but with a contemporary vision, they meld the sounds of China with Western string quartet in an unforgettable evening of grand music.
