Lin Zhantao and his students July 20, 2008

Professional musician Lin Zhantao and his students will offer two concerts of traditional Chinese music. Their ensemble will include erhu, zhonghu, gaohu, and banhu. These instruments belong to the huqin family of two-stringed bowed instruments and are commonly known in the West as “Chinese violin” or “Chinese two-stringed fiddle.” Although similar in appearance and manner of play, each instrument creates a unique sound varying from high to low pitches. Come listen to the ensemble play as they introduce songs from China.

1:30 p.m. & 2:30 p.m.
