Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the Shanghai Quartet and Wu Man, pipa on Friday, November 6, 2015.

"A Night in Ancient and New China." Wu Man and the Shanghai Quartet explore the great music of China in a program that features a new multimedia work by the eminent Chinese composer Zhao Jiping, in collaboration with his son, Zhao Lin, performing some of his most famous scores of Chinese cinema - "Raise the Red Lantern," "To Live," and "Farewell My Concubine," among others.

They also perform a suite of traditional Chinese folk songs arranged by second violinist Yi-Wen Jiang and solo pipa works by Wu Man. Looking back to their roots, but with a contemporary vision, they meld the sounds of China with Western string quartet in an unforgettable evening of grand music.
