Melbourne Recital Centre and Melbourne Festival 2014 in association with Playking Foundation present LOFTY MOUNTAINS AND FLOWING WATER, featuring the Jun Tian Yun He Ensemble, led by founder and director Wang Peng.
From the Jun Tian Yun He Ensemble - a group committed to spreading the music and culture of the majestic, seven-stringed guqin - comes a varied program of ancient and modern Chinese compositions. Opening with Lofty Mountains and Flowing Water, one of the most famous traditional works for the 'instrument of the sages', this recital encompasses the remarkable breadth of Chinese traditional instrumentation.
Experience the beauty, power and versatility of the guqin, in natural partnership with cello, guitar, throat singing and opera. Incorporating tai chi, this concert spans the heavenly purity of tradition and the energetic improvisations of contemporary China - the timeless spell of history channelled through a remarkable modern ensemble.
