About

In all of the selections on this disc, there is a conscious blending of sounds, techniques and ideas from traditional Chinese music with the string quartet of the Western classical tradition. At first hearing, the listener may be struck by the fresh and exotic sounds, textures and harmonies that result from this fusion. The play of these two traditions points to an even larger context, however, one shared by music the world over: that in the most profound way, sounds can capture the thoughts, feelings and longings of the universal human spirit. The vitality of exchange between East and West only seems to grow stronger and more relevant each year, and this disc of musical dim sum offers a thought-provoking perspective on the dynamic artistic possibilities of this nexus.
