In Search of the Roots – A Musical Conversation with Zhao Jiping

Flight is possible, only because one is grounded.
As the ancient pagoda tree seeks its roots, the music takes off.
As its thousand-mile journey ends, the tree finds its home.

A master of music, an icon in the Chinese music circle, Zhao Jiping has touched generations of music lovers around the world with the many classics he composed over the decades of his career. This evening, Zhao Jiping's works will take flight. Dormant roots of Zhao's ancient pagoda tree, awakened by the graceful melodies flowing from the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, will be transformed into soaring dragons that will take us on the search for one's roots.
