Across the Silk Traveling Road, one of China’s most exceptional Guzheng virtuoso Chang Jing, together with the talented Xiao (Chinese flute) musician Zhang Di, is coming to Greece to have their premiere performance at Trianon theater at 20:00 26th October.

 

Guzheng, commonly referred as the Chinese zither, is an ancient stringed instrument, which origins from three thousand years ago. During the Opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, ten minutes was dedicated to showcasing the beautiful melody of the Guzheng and featuring the talents of soloist Chang Jing. She was invited to perform together with Yannis Chryssomallis in 2013 CCTV Spring Festival Gala with the annual audience of about 700 million. Her enchanting performance which combines singing and reciting classic Chinese poetry also made her a royal teacher of the Princess of Thailand.

 

In the concert “The Sound of Silk”, Chang Jing and Zhang Di will lead the audience to enjoy a world of sound through their own creative composition and improvisation. Furthermore, Ancient Greek Lyre band Lyre ‘n’ Rhapsody will be invited to improvise together with the Chinese musicians.

 

This unprecedented concert will absolutely offer you a refreshing feeling of Chinese music and also a fantasy towards the ancient silk country with its exquisite melodies.
