Pipa-Solokonzert „Klangwelten aus China“

Pipa Solo Concert – Soundscapes from China

A Musical Journey Through Chinese Culture

As part of the50th anniversary of the Düsseldorf Society for German-Chinese Friendship (GDCF),we cordially invite you to a special concert evening.

The pipa is one of China’s oldest and most significant plucked string instruments. With a history spanning over two thousand years, it combines extraordinary virtuosity with a rich sonic language and evokes fascinating musical imagery—from tranquil landscapes to festive scenes and dramatic historical narratives.

Pipa playerJie Zhang (章婕)will present a carefully curated program featuring major works from the traditional and modern Chinese pipa repertoire.
The program includes, among other pieces:

• Dance of the Yi(彝族舞曲)
• Give Me a Rose(送我一支玫瑰花)
• Dance of the Golden Snake(金蛇狂舞)
• Spring Sun on White Snow(阳春白雪)
• The Heroic Sisters of the Steppe(草原英雄小姐妹)
• Ten-Sided Ambush(十面埋伏)

Brief introductions to the works provide insights into the Chinese musical tradition and the cultural backgrounds of the compositions. This makes the concert a special listening experience even for visitors with no prior knowledge.

Experience an evening full of sound, virtuosity, and cultural exchange, and discover the fascinating world of the Chinese pipa.
