Pipa Recital: Lan Weiwei
The University of Chicago Smart Museum of Art hosts a performance by pipa virtuoso Lan Weiwei
When:
June 1, 2014 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Where
Enjoy a performance from virtuoso Lan Weiwei -- one of the best pipa players in China and a lecturer in pipa performance at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.
The pipa, a plucked Chinese string instrument, was often featured in Chinese opera accompaniment. The recital will bridge ancient and modern, featuring Ming dynasty and other traditional works from the pipa repertoire as well as the debut of a newly commissioned piece by composer Chen Yao (UChicago PhD'12, assistant professor in composition at Illinois State University).
Before the recital, curator Judith Zeitlin (William R. Kenan Jr. Professor in East Asian Languages and Civilizations and Theater and Performance Studies at the University of Chicago) will give a brief gallery talk about a rare, lavishly decorated Ming dynasty pipa that is on view in the Smart Museum's special exhibition Performing Images.
This performance is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Consul General of Chicago of The People’s Republic of China, and the Richard and Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry at the University of Chicago.
This program is part of Envisioning China, a festival of art and culture presented by UChicago Arts. Learn more at envisioningchina.uchicago.edu.
