Taking Chinese music to the West is his goal
Print Edition
CHINA’s LEADING conductor, Long Yu, wants to expand his Shanghai Symphony Orchestra’s exposure to the world. But as he spends time in the West, he has found another mission —showcasing the diversity of Chinese music.
“People know very little about Chinese music,?Yu told AFP before conducting his premiere subscription series with the New York Philharmonic.
“Most people see what happens as like a Chinatown culture,?exotic and compartmentalized, he said.
Yu on February 24 will return to the New York Philharmonic to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The concert will feature Yo-Yo Ma on cello for the first US performance of modern Chinese composer Zhao Lin’s “Duo,”which also highlights the sheng — a bamboo reed instrument common in Chinese operas.
