Art of the Chinese Xiao

The Heart of the Dragon Ensemble and Chinese composer Jiang LI present an elegant union of 'East meets West', unveiling a wealth of Chinese art and culture to a broader audience. It showcases traditional Chinese music and literature via the sophisticated xiao, and the colorful Dai nation festivities with the hulusi. In addition, these two featured instruments are accompanied by the Chinese guzheng, pipa, erhu, and more, whilst seamlessly entwining with western drum kits, bass, guitar, piano and strings. The result is a beautifully blended combination of classic Chinese heritage, Dai nation folk history with western influences.
