Silk Strings

East meets West in this dialogue between Baroque and traditional Chinese instruments, whose musical methods of improvisation and ornamentation are remarkably alike.

Combining Baroque and Chinese musical instruments may not be a new idea. Historical records show that musical scores by famous Baroque composers like Corelli and Rameau were discovered in China, and European instruments such as harpsichords and violins were frequently presented as royal gifts in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Join us for this exciting blend of traditional Chinese melodies with Baroque music. Works by Rameau and more will be performed alongside Chinese traditional songs and new compositions by Edward Top, Dorothy Chang, and Lan Tung, played by a diverse ensemble of Baroque players and members of Sound of Dragon Ensemble.
