Programme Note
Concerto for String Orchestra and Pipa is derived from Tan Dun's theater piece Ghost Opera (see More Info tab for link). Set in four movements to be performed without pause, the piece opens with elements of minimalism, includes different styles of American dance rhythms, uses Bach quotations, and highlights Chinese elements drawn out of the pipa solos.
