DESCRIPTION:Please note: Registration for this event is full. Click here to sign up for the waiting list.\nPerfect for ages 3-7\, this free family concert will explore the music and stories of the Chinese Zodiac and celebrate 2024’s Year of the Dragon! \nOn this 50-minute program\, international erhu virtuoso Dr. Chia-Yu Joy Lu of Wesleyan University will play alongside a NHSO violinist Stephanie Hug and NHSO pianist William Braun. The erhu is a two-stringed instrument played with a bow that is not only popular in China\, but in East Asian countries that are influenced by Chinese culture. \nThe concert’s music will include Two Tigers\, Thunder in a Drought\, Joy & Happiness\, Grasshopper Tricks the Rooster\, Beautiful Flowers and Full Moon\, and more. While the music plays\, a Chinese calligraphy artist will simultaneously hand-draw characters on a screen and families will have the opportunity to practice writing the characters in provided program books. \nAfter the concert\, kids can try real orchestral instruments at an “instrument petting zoo”! \n\nAbout the Guest Artist \nBorn and raised in Taiwan\, Dr. Joy Lu has studied erhu since her childhood and was awarded several prizes in erhu and zhonghu (alto erhu) performances.
