Meet the Artists

The performance starts on the edge of the Pacific with music by an eclectic American who employs Chinese, Korean, and Mexican instruments. Then hear a new piece by a miraculous Chinese composer whose music trembles at the edge of silence and ecstasy. And lastly Mahler breathes the air of eternity in his late masterpiece.
