A Traveller’s Chant

From the Carnegie Hall to the Barbican Centre: as a pipa soloist, Yang Jing has toured all major concert halls. ‘A Traveller’s Chant’ affords Yang Jing-the composer to take centre stage alongside the renowned virtuoso. These works for diverse chamber music groups demonstrate Yang Jing’s status as the foremost ambassador of a modern Asian music tradition. From rigid, strict formal structures Yang Jing’s compositions create sound-worlds of mysterious beauty, lavish colour, and harmonic depth.
