Wu Wei and the Euphonia Accordion Orchestra Concert, Berlin – Germanyby Rob Howard |
A Gala concert starring Chinese Sheng virtuoso Wu Wei and the Euphonia Accordion Orchestra takes place on July 16th, 8pm, at the Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Kreuzberg, Berlin. The event is a celebration of the 10th German-Chinese Youth Day, in which Chinese and German children and adolescents meet in Berlin's cultural and musical exchange. The Sheng is an ancient Chinese reed blown instrument, from which the accordion and its free reed relatives were derived in the 19th Century, and Wu Wei is generally regarded as the greatest interpreter of the Sheng in Europe. |
