Performing on pipa (Chinese lute), Wu Man is joined by fellow members of this adventuresome musical collective consisting of artists who are accomplished performers of traditional and classical music. They also share the belief that tradition can serve as a compass for artistic explorations into new forms of creativity inspired by the past.  
 
In 2019, the ensemble performed with the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, at Germany’s Mosel Musikfestival in Bernkastel-Wehlen and Konzerthaus Dortmund in North Rhine Westphalia, and previously with the Kronos Quartet. The program will include excerpts from the ensemble’s private concert at Royal Albert Hall, never before broadcast. 
   
The Aga Khan Master Musicians include Tunisian-born Jasser Haj Youssef on violin and viola d’amore; Syrian natives Feras Charestan on qanun (Arab zither) and Basel Rajoub on saxophone, tárogató, and duclar (Arab reed); Sirojiddin Juraev, from Tajikistan, on dutar and tanbur (Central Asian lutes); and Abbos Kosimov, from Uzbekistan, on doira (Central Asian frame drum). Together, they perform original music informed by classical, folk, jazz, and contemporary concert music and infused with traditions from across Asia and the Middle East.  
 
This event is presented in collaboration with the Aga Khan Music Programme and the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth and is part of the 28th season of the Bill and Mary Meyer Concert Series.
