The Heart of the Dragon Ensemble and Chinese composer Jiang Li present an elegant union of ‘East meets West’, unveiling a wealth of Chinese art and culture to a broader audience. It showcases traditional Chinese music and literature via the sophisticated xiao, and the colorful Dai nation festivities with the hulusi. In addition, these two featured instruments are accompanied by the Chinese guzheng, pipa, erhu, and more, seamlessly entwining with Western drum kit, bass, guitar, piano, and strings. The result is a beautifully blended combination of classic Chinese heritage, Dai nation folk history, and Western influences.
