About Me |
|
| Founded in 1999, the Ba Ban Chinese Music Society of New York is dedicated to the preservation, creation and presentation of Chinese traditional and contemporary performing arts. Named after an ancient piece of folk music, "Ba Ban" literally means "Eight Beats" which is the structural basis for the grouping of notes in traditional Chinese music. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- The ensemble includes highly accomplished artists who have performed in concert halls around the world. The ensemble performs on Silk and Bamboo instruments-a classical instrumental grouping dating from Qing dynasty (1636-1911) that includes various dizi (bamboo flutes), sheng (mouth organ), pipa (lute), ruan (alto lute), guzheng (zither), huqin (fiddles) and yangqin (dulcimer). ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- In addition to concerts, Ba Ban also offers arts education programs. Since its founding, the ensemble has performed frequently in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Merkin Concert Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York University, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Peabody Conservatory of Music, Eastman School of Music, and Longy School of Music. Ba Ban also performed at a landmark event, New York State’s first official celebration of the "Lunar New Year 4698". Recent performances include the Spoleto Festival's premiere show, Monkey: Journey To The West. Ba Ban collaborated with Damon Albarn (Gorillaz/Blur) and famed director Chen Shi-Zheng. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- For booking information, please contact: babanchinesemusic@yahoo.com. | |
