SYNOPSIS
Expressive, slightly nasal and almost human in quality, the versatile sound of the ancient, two-stringed Chinese musical instrument known as the erhu easily translates into different genres of music across the ages.
Come experience the many styles and moods that can be teased out of the erhu as Singapore Chinese Orchestra musician Neo Yong Soon performs a diverse repertoire of outstanding works by erhu masters.

Liu Wen Jin’s classic Dream of Rulai Buddha incorporates musical influences from India and Central Asia, the erhu’s original homeland thousands of years ago, while George Gao’s Erhu Capriccio No.2 – Mongolian Fantasy combines the essence of eastern and western music. Liu Tian Hua’s At Ease is a traditional-style piece, while Wang Jian Min’s Erhu Rhapsody No. 2 is a new work coloured with the cultural flavours of Hunan, and written with modern composition techniques.
