Classical Music | Works by Chinese Composers from the 7th to 19th Century for Harp, Percussion, and More, with Dance (In Person AND Online!)

Thursday, March 27, 2025, 1:15 pm to 2:00 pm

Free

Tomoko Sugawara, kugo (harp); Rex Benincasa, hokyo (glockenspiel) & percussion; Ling Tang, dance.

In 1900, manuscripts were discovered in the caves of Dunhuang, northwest China. The manuscripts include religious, historical, mathematical, and musical documents. The extraordinary trove of music & dance manuscripts were created during the Tang Dynasty (7th-19th c.). During the last century scholars from Japan, China, and England have started to transcribe them into modern notations. This program features Tang music by Chinese scholar Chen Yingshi including dance music from the Sogdian people and court music.

The kugo was made in 2008 and the hokyo was made in 2022. Both are replicas of instruments found in the Japanese emperor's treasure house, Shosoin.
