"Secrets of the Chinese Court--Passions of the West"
Whether it is fast and furious string band music, the sultry beauty of Chinese Imperial Court classics or cutting edge contemporary creations, Red Chamber’s fiery passion embodies every note. These four virtuosic performers set the stage on fire with hot licks, power and passion!
The Red Chamber ensemble features Mei Han, recognized internationally as one of the leading virtuosi and authorities on the Chinese zheng (zither); Guilian Liu, one of the world’s premiere pipa (lute) masters; Zhimin Yu, a versatile ruan (lute) virtuoso; and Geling Jiang, an award-winning multi-instrumentalist.
Red Chamber takes its inspiration from the traditional Chinese “Plucked String” repertoire that is seldom heard in the west. They create a unique sound while performing a repertoire that spans centuries, from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) to modern compositions be it Balkan, Bluegrass, Gypsy, Jazz or Flamenco, all the time showing the diversity of musical skill and the universal application of their instruments to new audiences around the world.
