Description
Discover the wonder of the Chinese written language through a musical and artistic exploration! Master musician Shaw Pong Liu introduces listeners to the violin and its Chinese cousin the erhu, then explores 3 Chinese characters through three steps: 1) performing a piece of music inspired by the character, which the audience is invited to draw in response to; 2) introducing the visual history of the character from ancient bone carvings to modern Chinese character; 3) teaching the audience how to write the Chinese character. *A recommended follow-up to Liu's Exploring China program*
