The beauty of dulcimer enjoyed in a salon-like venue

Don't have plans for the weekend? Why not come and relax over the limpid notes of the Chinese dulcimer? Curated by Yu Mei-lai, yangqin artist of the HKCO, this concert series features solo and ensemble pieces from the wide range of dulcimer music around the world. Other than instrumental music, Yu will add to the fun with accompanied singing. Her choice of songs is interestingly eclectic: there is the traditional from the ancient Shenqi Mipu (The Mysterious, Fantastic Scores), ci poems of the Song Dynasty in China, to pop medleys of today. It promises to be a fun and relaxing soiree evening for all.
