New Asia Chamber Music Society—East Meets West: A Musical Tapestry Across Cultures

Sunday, August 17 at 3 PM, Friends of Music of Stamford, NY presents a cross-cultural musical journey featuring the Chinese erhu, Japanese koto and shamisen with a Western string quartet. New Asia Chamber Music Society’s East Meets West: A Musical Tapestry Across Cultures blends instruments, philosophies, and styles— ranging from whimsical Japanese folk scenes and Chinese animal-inspired suites to the lyrical elegance of The Tale of Genji. Keiko Tokunaga (violin), Sean Wang (violin), Andy Lin (viola/erhu), Hikaru Tamaki (cello), and Yoko Reikano Kimura (koto/shamisen/voice) play works by Michael Ippolito, Stephanie Chou, Yaoxin Chen, Tienhua Liu, and Daron Hagen.
