Come witness the premiere of a new work by Jace Eagle Bear, and selections from the film, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
To celebrate Asian Heritage Month this year, Gai Lan Ensemble presents a unique concert featuring a new composition by erhuist Jace Eagle Bear, and the music which inspired him, such as the soundtrack from “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
“Qing” 青, is the Chinese word for the colour between blue and green. “Qing Yin” 青音, means blue/green sound, or Cyan Tones, evoking the colour and timbre of the concert itself. As a performance blending Chinese and western instruments, it’s something that also exists in-between.
Joined by Calgary's premiere chamber orchestra Kensington Sinfonia, the concert will present works by living Canadian and Chinese composers including Jace Eagle Bear, Tse Taishun, and Li Bochan, as well as some beloved traditional tunes.
