China Music Now

Sponsored By:

An ancient dance tune of the Northern Han people…the musical flavor of the early Bashu region…a Datura induced dream state….the sound of the zheng. Vitality, tenderness, and color; a perfect musical complement to Portland Art Museum’s epic China Design Now exhibition. Featuring the brilliant music of Jia Daqun, Chen Yi, and Professor Ye Xiaogang, the Beijing Olympics composer, joining us from Beijing for these performances. With guest zheng virtuoso Haiqiong Deng.
