Strings & Bamboo: The Essence of Chinese Music
1439 El Prado, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $35 - $50
Join virtuoso performer Chi Li, UCLA professor of Chinese music, for a performance-conversation featuring one of the jewels of Chinese instrumental music, the two-stringed bowed fiddle (erhu) in its many variants. Professor Li will guide us on a journey through time, encountering the sweep of Chinese music from ancient nomadic cultures to medieval courts across the many regions of this vast and endlessly fascinating land, leading to her own encounter, through music, with modern China.
