Musical Journeys Through China
Pipa virtuoso Wu Man plays host, curator, and performer in this special series. Selected by Yo-Yo Ma as the winner of Toronto’s Glenn Gould Protégé Prize in music, Wu Man has been credited as “the artist most responsible for bringing [her instrument] to the Western World” (Los Angeles Times). Also included is the Quanzhou Marionette Theater, which presents Chinese folk tales through traditional opera, music, and extraordinary puppetry.
