This program features traditional and folk melodies from the various regions around China. Compositions include “Dance of the Yao Tribe,” “Harvest Drumming,” “Liu Yang River,” “Fisherman’s Dusk Song” and other pieces inspired by the people and places of China. Bonnie will perform a final gu zheng duet with her internationally acclaimed teacher, Bei Bei He.
