Yang Jing, pipa

March 2, 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Orvis Auditorium

World renowned pipa virtuoso Yang Jing visits Orvis Auditorium for an exciting concert of new works.

Combining her love for the millennium-old tradition of Chinese music with an innovative spirit of exploration, Yang Jing builds on a vast amalgam of musical history from both East and West to create a musical experience that transcends boundaries.

East and West will indeed merge tonight, as she performs with violist Anna Womack, soprano Rachel Schutz, and guzheng player Lai Yi-Chieh. Join us for an evening that includes 6 world premieres by UH composers Donald Womack, Thomas Osborne, Jeffrey Myers, Takeo Kudo and Byron Yasui, as well as Yang Jing's own award-winning modern pipa standard "Dance Along the Old Silk Road."

Yang Jing's residency is co-sponsored by the East-West Center, which will present Yang Jing in a concert of mostly traditional Chinese works for pipa, erhu, guzheng, and dizi Sunday February 26, 4:00 pm at the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center.
