As part of the Chinese Arts & Culture Festival, Professor Ye Guohui, an award-winning Chinese composer from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, will lead an ensemble of student instrumentalists in his original compositions for traditional Chinese instruments. The repertoire is composed of three ancient Chinese stories from over 1,000 years ago: "Night Revels of Han Zaixi", "Drinking Wine from Goblets Drifting Downstream”, and "Flowing Water". The group is offering a series of lectures and workshops at U-M to discuss compositional and performance techniques, and in addition to this concert, they will perform on Sept. 26 at Rackham Auditorium. This Gifts of Art concert is cosponsored by the U-M Confucius Institute. For further details, visit the CIUM website: www.confucius.umich.edu.
