The sixth annual China Now Music Festival returns to the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center for the NY debut of the Bard East/West Ensemble, an innovative music group combining Chinese and Western instruments to create a new model of cross-cultural performance.
The program features new arrangements of music by Tan Dun and Zhou Long, as well as several new works by outstanding young composers from China, including members of the legendary faculty of the Central Conservatory of Music.
Internationally renowned pipa virtuoso Wu Man will join the ensemble to perform a new arrangement of Zhou Long’s popular pipa concerto, ‘King Chu Doff’s His Armor’.
Pre-concert talk at 6:15 PM.
