Reihe: Singing Strings - YANG Jing Music for Pipa and String Quartet

This series of selected scores are from our beloved classical concert program «Singing Strings» YANG Jing Music for Pipa with String Quartet.

Stringed instruments form the backbone of the western classical symphony orchestra. The Eastern string instrument Pipa has developed into a leading solo instrument as early as the Tang dynasty (618 - 709) in the East.

In this set of classical concert programs, all pieces maintain the original and natural acoustic sound source of unplugged string instruments. It enables the encounter of different acoustic properties, different expressions of sound and sound aesthetics that have developed over time in different regions. This Program let old & new string instruments offer us an unforgettable musical experience _ from the fresh energy of the morning to the poetry of the sunset - from a silk bamboo tea house to a passionate dance in the desert of the wild west - from the search for one's own identity to the singing of swinging hearts - from pearls falling on to a jade plate to the gallop of black horses... Each piece opens up a new perspective.
