Master Players Concert Series: iMusic IV-China Magpie

The University of Delaware's Department of Music presents China Magpie.

The iMusic productions created by internationally known violinist and MPCS founding artistic director Xiang Gao are creative and engaging pops concerts that humanize music in ways audiences have never imagined. Last year, iMusic 3 celebrated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day with many of today’s leading artists and the cross-generational MPCS audience. This year, the internationally acclaimed ensemble China Magpie, of which Mr. Gao is a founding member, returns for its third appearance with MPCS. Established by Yo-Yo Ma and Silk Road Project, China Magpie performs crossover music with its own arrangements and compositions. The Boston Globe cited China Magpie with “vibrant playing, urgent communication and energetic rhythm borrowed from rock music!” These concerts also celebrate the U.S. release of China Magpie’s first album. These fun family events are appropriate for children age four and up and sell out quickly, so reserve your tickets today. Tickets: $25 adults; $20 seniors; $10 students. This event will play for 2 nights at UD:: April 15 and 16, 2011 at 8:00pm.
