About this Event
Music & Healing Experience is a seasonal experience by Echos of China Ensemble exploring the therapeutic potential of Chinese instruments through attentive listening, traditional Chinese musical thought, and the sensory qualities of sound, space, and scent.
Rooted in the traditional correspondence between the Five Tones (五音), the Five Elements (五行), and the changing seasons, each edition develops a distinct sonic and sensory world in response to the qualities of its season. Rather than reproducing a fixed format, 音愈会 takes shape through different instruments, spaces, artists, and modes of listening.
For the Autumn edition, the resonant voice of the erhu meets the delicate, lingering tones of the guzheng, with Shang (商)—the tone associated with autumn and the element of Metal—serving as a tonal and conceptual point of departure. The music explores the qualities of clarity, restraint, resonance, and release, moving between sustained tones, delicate gestures, and the traces of sound that remain in the room.
Alongside the music, traditional Chinese incense becomes part of the composition itself. Two fragrances, E Li Zhang Zhong Xiang (鹅梨帐中香) and Xue Zhong Chun Xin (雪中春信), will unfold at different moments of the experience, allowing scent to enter the listening space not as an accompaniment to the music, but as another form of presence—subtle, continuous, and felt through the body.
Guests are also welcome to enjoy tea upon arrival, allowing the gathering to begin informally before the listening experience unfolds.
Returning to an intimate indoor setting, the Autumn edition invites us to slow down and attend to the relationship between sound and silence, presence and disappearance, resonance and residue—listening not only to what is played, but to what remains after the sound has begun to fade.
音愈会是纽约回响民族乐团发起的季节性聆听体验，探索中国传统乐器的声音特质，以及声音、空间与感知之间的关系。
根植于传统中国音乐中五音、五行与四时的对应关系，每一期音愈会都从一个季节出发，以不同的乐器、空间与聆听方式，展开一场独特的声音体验。
秋之音愈会以二胡与古筝为核心。以与秋季及五行之“金”相应的商调（商）为音乐的出发点，声音在清澈、克制与共鸣之间展开，在旋律、余韵与静默之间，感受秋日由盛而收的过程。
本次体验中，传统中国香也将成为声音之外的一种感知媒介。鹅梨帐中香与雪中春信将被融入现场，让香气与音乐共同进入空间，在空气中缓慢弥散、停留与消退。
茶则作为抵达时的招待，欢迎来宾入场后自由享用。
回到室内而更为亲密的空间，秋之音愈会邀请我们放慢速度，聆听声音如何产生、共鸣、消散，以及在声音离开之后，仍然留在空间与身体中的回响。
