The VSO presents a performance by the Seoul Philharmonic, featuring Wu Wei, the world’s leading sheng player. The sheng is a 4,000 year old Chinese mouth organ, the world’s oldest reed-based instrument, and carries a rich, diverse, and amazing sound. Unsuk Chin’s composition for sheng and orchestra provides an extraordinary counterpoint to the music of Ravel and Tchaikovsky.
