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.
These performances made possible
through the generous support of the China
International Culture Association.
