The audience will journey through a performance of the ancient Chinese guzheng and vocals sung in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Alongside the performance, the history of the guzheng and its contemporary utilizations are explored. The audience will experience the guzheng’s dynamic sounds and voice and learn the guzheng’s history through traditional, modern, and extended playing techniques. I endeavor for the audience to reframe how non-Western instruments are incorporated into current music and appreciate the vast array of cultures that makes L.A. so vibrant.
