Cao Ding is the guest conductor from Shanghai. (中国著名指挥家曹丁)
The programme includes:
Tone Poem - Recital of Lishan (音诗《骊山吟》)
Little Sisters of the Grassland 《草原小姐妹》(Pipa solo – Yu Jia)
First Erhu Concerto 《第一二胡协奏曲》(Erhu solo – Wong Sun Tat)
Capriccio of River Dabo 《达勃河随想曲》(Lead vocalist – soprano Wong Su Sen)
All were nice lively music.
Yu Jia and Wong Sun Tat gave impressive performances. After their performances, some of their students gave them flowers and teddy bears.
After the concert there was an autograph session.
My favourite Chinese musical instruments are erhu, pipa and guzheng.
I still remember a performance by China’s pipa maestro Liu De Hai on the pipa. He looked very calm and relaxed. He mesmerized the audience with his skills, techniques and music. He made it look so easy. But I believe the pipa is a difficult instrument to learn and very difficult to master.
