【Virtual Lecture IV】Conversations Between the Western and Chinese Instruments in Selected Works

(8:30AM EST | 2:30PM CEST | 8:30PM HKT)

This lecture attempts to look into a selected group of compositions by composers such as Tan Dun, Chen Qigang, and Guo Wenjing, that incorporate western and Chinese instruments and explore how those composers create conversations among the instruments in meaningful, engaging, and creative ways, whether imitative, interactive, interjective, interruptive, interdictive, disruptive, etc.

該講座將淺析在選定的幾首作品中，作曲家們（譚盾、陳其鋼、郭文景等）如何在中西樂器中構造一種有機的對話，無論是模仿式的，互動式的，感嘆式的，間斷式的，打斷式的，破壞式的等等。
