COURTESY PHOTO 7he llnaxia Ensemble of China will perform, marking the Year of the Tiger depicted above. Concert celebrates Year of the Tiger Traditional Chinese folk music will honor the Chinese New Year By Carl Yeh Freelance Editor Another new year is upon us — the Chinese New Year, that is. To bring in the new year, the Year of the Tiger, the Chinese Students and Scholars Associa tion will present a musical con cert on Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Central Presbyterian Church (1475 Ferry St.). The concert will feature the Huaxia Ensemble of China, a group of nine musicians from the Republic of China who play traditional Chinese folk music. “For the first time in decades, Eugene will see a chamber mu sic show performed on tradi tional Chinese instruments by domestic Chinese musicians,” said Lu Zhang, president of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association and the main coor dinator for the event. “(Eugene] will hear the true sound of the enduring Chinese traditional music and folk songs with a re freshing contemporary beat.” The ensemble will perform both ancient and modern mu sic. The piece “Joyous Meeting” was very popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, according to a press release. Meanwhile, "Three Laughs,” which was written for the ensemble in 1996, imitates the sound of hu man laughter. The ensemble has visited many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, but this is their first tour in the United States. The Chinese musical group has received much praise. Most of the musicians in the ensemble have been winners of national and international Chinese tradi tional instrument competitions. Conducting the ensemble is Tsung Yell, who has led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Albany Symphony Or chestra of New York. Michael Yeh, a junior and member of the Chinese Students Association, said he is looking forward to the concert. “This is an opportunity for people to get together,” he said. “People back in China and Taiwan are celebrating the Chi nese New Year — it’s a lot like Christmas for the Americans,” Yeh said.
