Lunchtime ConcertsLunchtime Concert: China in Black and White - 03/10/2025DescriptionChina in Black and White: Mengqing Nie (piano) with the London Youlan Qin Society What sounds – and ideas – are sparked when Chinese folk melodies collide with the bulk of the Western piano? This lunchtime concert weaves together two musical worlds through piano transcriptions and re-interpretations of traditional Chinese music, with a focus on rarely heard works from the period of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), which was pivotal in the history of Chinese piano transcriptions. Featuring collaboration with musicians from the London Youlan Qin Society, the programme explores the delicate balance between tradition and innovation, showing how cultural memory can be reimagined through sound. Expect sweeping musical landscapes, unexpected timbres, and a journey that transcends time and borders. Date: 03/10/2025 Location: Auditorium, Victoria Rooms Building, Queen's Road, Clifton, BS8 1SA Student/Staff ticket holders will be required to show their UCard on admission.Contact Info: |
