Celebrate the Year of the Snake with music! Now in its sixth year, The Sound of Spring is an authentic Chinese New Year concert featuring dramatic orchestral works and world-class Chinese instrument soloists, led by conductor Jindong Cai.
This year, TŌN is joined by soloists from the legendary faculty of the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing on erhu, sheng (Chinese mouth organ), and percussion. The diverse program combines traditional favorites with new compositions, including a commission especially for this concert by Bard faculty member Xinyan Li.
Be sure to come early for treats and Chinese instrument demonstrations courtesy of the US-China Music Institute!
