The season continues on February 17 when we are joined by an amazing young saxophonist who goes simply by the name Ashu.

Concerto for Pipa and String Orchestra, T. Dun.

The season will close on June 16, when we are delighted to be collaborating with Liu Fang, the "Paganini of the pipa". The pipa is a Chinese lute and Ms. Fang will be performing the dramatic Concerto for Pipa and String Orchestra by Tan Dun (composer of the soundtrack for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). She will also perform some traditional Chinese repertoire for the pipa and will talk about the instrument.
