Connecting the timeless depth of traditional Taiwanese music with the irrepressible exuberance of contemporary global styles, the award-winning ensemble Sheng Dong—A Moving Sound—boasts the otherworldly vocalizing of Mia Hsieh and the ancient timbres of erhu (two-stringed fiddle), zhong ruan (lute), Chinese percussion and Tibetan singing bowls. Founded by Hsieh and Scott Prairie in Taipei in 2001, the group has been featured on NPR and The Discovery Channel, and presented by The Kennedy Center, WOMAD, and numerous other international forums.
