Moonlight over the Silk Road
Moonlight over the Silk Road - Chinese New Year in Song
Ring in the Lunar New Year with a joyful fusion of traditions—where the guzheng’s ancient voice meets the piano’s resonance and the warmth of the baritone. A celebration of unity, music, and the beauty of cultural exchange. From traditional Chinese poetry will be mixed with contemporary classical composition, including music by Raymond Yiu, alongside classical and folk-inspired works from across China.
