Discover the charms of “silk” and “bamboo” music performed on bowed and plucked instruments traditionally strung with silk strings such as the huqin (fiddle) and ruan (lute), as well as wind instruments made of bamboo such as the dizi (bamboo flute) and the sheng (free-reed mouth organ). Seven musicians from the SCO will perform pieces such as The Festival of Mountain and Forest, a celebratory piece depicting the villagers’ festive joy, Dream of Bali, a composition with an atmospheric melody, and the traditional Cantonese music of Song of The Full Moon.
