Min Xiao-Fen (@minxiaofen ) and Julian Kytasty (@juliankytasty ) brought the world premiere of Boundless to the David Rubenstein Atrium—a spellbinding musical creation where Eastern musical worlds converge! 🎶✨
The evening featured world-class pipa and bandura playing, melding Chinese and Ukrainian musical traditions into a bold, genre-defying soundscape.

“Asian Soundscapes” continues to be such a joy to bring to life alongside these incredible artists 💫: Min Xiao-Fen, Mari Ohta, and Amy Xin Yin. Blending pipa, koto, and contemporary percussion 🪕🥁, we explored a musical landscape inspired by the beauty of the Appalachians ⛰️🍃—where ancient traditions meet modern expression 🌏➡️🎼, and each moment flows with its own sense of balance, emotion, and drama 🌊
Grateful for the collaboration 🤝, the energy in the room 🔥, and the chance to share this journey of sound 💖🎵
Here’s to many more ✨🙌
