- **Event Name**: Ma Music Experiences: Sound, Craft and Inquiry
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: MA MUSIC EXPERIENCES is an intimate concert by distinguished improviser and pipa, ruan virtuoso Jie Ma, whose work bridges ancient Chinese musical traditions with contemporary and experimental sound practices.

Grounded in the discipline and aesthetics of traditional Chinese music and philosophy, and shaped by decades of exploration across Western classical, avant-garde, jazz, electronic, and global musical languages, Jie Ma’s performances unfold as living, responsive works of art. Through the traditional instruments pipa and ruan—joined by subtle electronic processing, overtone singing, crystal singing bowls, and real-time improvisation—she creates sonic environments where heritage and innovation coexist in the present moment.

Sound, Craft, and Inquiry resonates deeply with the spirit of the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, a place defined by Beatrice Wood’s lifelong commitment to artistic experimentation, cross-cultural curiosity, and philosophical inquiry, as well as by the thoughtful stewardship that continues to interpret and sustain her legacy today. Like Wood—who moved fluidly between the Dada movement, ceramic craft, and Eastern thought—Jie Ma approaches music as both material and meditation, as form and inquiry, honoring tradition while remaining open to discovery.

Rather than presenting fixed compositions, the music unfolds through a shared state of awareness, where sound is experienced as vibration, gesture, and exchange—as a form of living storytelling. Audiences encounter the depth and nuance of traditional Chinese music alongside avant-garde and international influences, woven into original and spontaneous creations.

Moving beyond genre—neither strictly traditional nor purely experimental—MA MUSIC EXPERIENCES presents music as a contemporary artistic practice grounded in craft, imagination, and attentive listening, guided by the quiet intelligence of sound itself.
