This episode features Quebec’s Yadong Guan Trio.
In November 2013, an enthusiastic audience at the St. Elias Centre in Haines Junction, Yukon, was treated to a very special performance by the distinguished Pipa virtuoso and composer, Yadong Guan, originally from Beijing.
Yadong Guan is a true musical ambassador who plays the pipa, a traditional Chinese instrument that is over 2,000 years old. Handling the metal and nylon stringed instrument with impressive virtuosity, Guan uncovers one of her country’s hidden treasures, offering audiences a truly exotic experience.
Yadong is joined on stage by guitarist Bruno Roussel and cellist Christophe Lobel.
