We’ve had the honor of collaborating with our dear friend and legendary pipa player Wu Man for over 30 years, so it was only natural that she joined us onstage for the World and West Coast Premieres of our latest project, Three Bones🦴🦴🦴
@wu_man2019 is featured in the third part of the Three Bones triptych, “Beyond the Golden Gate,” where together we played selections from Tan Dun’s Ghost Opera as well as “Two Chinese Paintings,” the piece that we commissioned her to write for us as part of Kronos Fifty for the Future✨🎶

“Experience a mesmerizing fusion of musical worlds as the legendary Wu Man brings the haunting beauty of the pipa to life in Zhao Jiping’s Pipa Concerto No.2. The pipa is a 2,000-year-old, lute-like instrument and Man, the world’s leading pipa player. Lan Shui leads the @rocphils RPO in an exhilarating program featuring John Adams’ The Chairman Dances, Fauré’s evocative Pelléas et Mélisande, and Ravel’s La Valse. A night of rhythm, romance, and riveting orchestral color awaits! “

@kronos_quartet returned to Carnegie Hall for “Three Bones,” a semi-staged, multisensory exploration of the histories of Indigenous, Gullah-Geechee, and Chinese American communities in the United States.
The musical triptych began with samples of Native music first recorded in 1890 up to contemporary Native compositions and new arrangements, featuring the visceral and poignant artistry of violinist-composer @ortwoman .
The second panel highlighted connections between Western African and American cultures nearly lost to history, centering on Lorenzo Dow Turner’s “Amelia’s Song” and a world premiere by Charlton Singleton with Grammy-winning percussionist Quentin E. Baxter.
Pipa virtuoso @wu_man2019 joined in the triptych’s final panel, featuring new music by Dai Wei, personal histories of Chinese Americans who expanded civil and immigrant rights in San Francisco, and more. 📸: Stephanie Berger
