Wu Man & the Kronos Quartet Perform the West Coast Premiere of A Chinese Home at Stanford University, CA, January 16
A Chinese Home is Wu Man's new project that began six years ago when she visited Yin Yu Tang at the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachussetts. The visit to the 18th century home that had been disassembled in China and re-erected piece by piece affected Wu Man deeply. A year later Wu Man invited her long time collaborator, the Kronos Quartet, to be a part of the project, with Yin Yu Tang the inspiration for this new work.
Following the world premiere in New York in November, Wu Man and the Kronos Quartet will present the west coast premiere of their work for pipa, string quartet and video, A Chinese Home, at Stanford University on Sat January 16, 8PM as part of the Stanford Lively Arts season. Read More »
