A unique programme in which Baroque music meets ancient Chinese musical traditions. In Dragon Dances & Jasmin Songs, Holland Baroque and sheng virtuoso Wu Wei create a refined dialogue between East and West.

Programme

Traditionals and musical travel documents of the Silk Road (Jones Dalberg, Grandville Bantock and Willeke Collection)

Wu Wei plays the sheng, a traditional Chinese mouth organ with a history of over 3,000 years. The instrument is a marvel of sound, rhythm, and melody, and immediately evokes the richness of Chinese musical culture.

The inspiration for this new program comes from historical European collections of traditional Chinese music, gathered in the 18th and 19th centuries – including the Jones Dalberg Collection (1802), the Grandville Bantock Collection (1911), and the Willeke Collection (1909). Together with Wu Wei, Holland Baroque breathes new life into this music in a surprising and refined dialogue between East and West.
