Program Notes

Meet the Artists

With their colorful orchestral suites, Bartók and Stravinsky depict the China of fairytales. A more realistic China—but equally evocative—emerges in music by Bright Sheng and Tan Dun. In Tan Dun’s concerto, percussion soloist Colin Currie makes intoxicating sounds, plunging his hands quite literally into water.
