About

Originating from the Qin Dynasty, the ancient Chinese musical instrument known as the Ruan, was originally called the Qin Pipa. Revered for its unique timbre and musical allure across generations, the Ruan has captivated modern audiences with its distinctive charm. This concert unites members of the Ruan family — from the high-pitched Ruan to the small, large, and medium variants — alongside percussion, accordion, wind instruments, and more. The performance traverses from traditional renditions to modern compositions and Western music, presenting the millennium-old instrument in all its versatility. Leading the ensemble is Wang Yiwen, a prominent figure among the new generation of Chinese Ruan musicians, showcasing the instrument's dynamic vitality and its seamless blend of tradition and modernity.
