GRAMMY Award-winning American Roots artists Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer join Chinese classical hammered dulcimer player Chao Tian for a show that spans music from China to Appalachia and beyond. Instrumentation includes yangqin (Chinese hammered dulcimer), gourd banjo, five-string banjo, ukulele, guitars, dumbek, cello-banjo, and mandolin.The group’s repertoire includes traditional Chinese and Appalachian music as well as contemporary and traditional music from around the world. Unusual combinations explore new arrangements of old music, such as “Dark Eyes.” Ukulele, yangqin, and guitar create a new palette for this Russian folk song-turned-jazz manouche tune. Cathy and Marcy join Chao in singing a Chinese lullaby, “Nani Wan,” and Chao easily adds her love of American Old-Time music to fiddle tunes and songs.
