PROGRAM
NOTES:
Recognized
as the world’s premier pipa virtuoso and as a leading ambassador of Chinese
music, Chinese-born musician Wu Man creates and fosters projects that give this
ancient instrument a new role in today’s musical world.
She
has introduced the pipa — the traditional, four-stringed Chinese lute — to new
audiences around the world and has commissioned and premiered more than a
hundred new works.
Through
projects she has instigated, the pipa has found a place in new solo and quartet
works, concertos, opera, chamber, electronic and jazz music, as well as in
theatre productions, film, dance and collaborations with visual artists.
Her
adventurous musical spirit has also made her a respected expert on the history
and preservation of Chinese musical traditions, reflected in her recorded and
live performances and multi-cultural collaborations.
This
performance is included in Diversity Through Music,
an event series sponsored by the UMD Office of Diversity Education and
Compliance and
the Nyumburu Cultural Center through a grant from the Office of Diversity and Inclusion with the cooperation of the Clarice
Smith Center. To view a full schedule of events, visit the Nyumburu
Cultural Center’s website.
Wu
Man most recently appeared at the Center in A
Chinese Home with
Kronos Quartet (2009-2010).
