I Musici invites you on a musical voyage with an outstanding musician as your guide. Liu Fang is one of the rare virtuosos to master both the pipa and the guzheng, two traditional instruments from her native China. From Montréal, her adopted home for nearly 20 years, she travels the world garnering rave reviews. Among the works she performs is a concerto by Tan Dun, a classical composer who wrote the Oscar and Grammy winning soundtrack to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Western and Oriental strings come together in this program tinged with poetry, sensuality, and exoticism.
