This program bridges the music and philosophies of traditional Chinese instruments (guqin, guzheng, dizi, erhu, yangqin) and European baroque period instruments (harpsichord, clavichord, theorbo, strings) in a cross-cultural dialogue of sounds and repertoire.
The repertoire features a new composition using all these instruments by composer Marco Jimenez, accompanied by works including an adaptation of Mozart’s K. 511 Rondo by Mark Landson for a mix of Chinese and Western baroque instruments. Also included is Wang Amao’s Duo for Guqin and Clavichord (2024), and Preludes for Colors by Chenghao Michalis Li.
