China Magpie - Xiang Gao and Friends III

2007-05-18 20:00:00 - 2007-05-18 00:00:00

In 2006, international violin soloist Xiang Gao became a recipient of the Stradivari Society of Chicago. This concert

is a great opportunity to hear one of the world’s most prestigious violins performed by Gao and collaborative pianist

Howard Watkins of the Metropolitan Opera. “Xiang Gao and Friends” has quickly become a UD tradition that

brings many of the worlds most creative musicians to campus for fiery performances from classical to jazz and beyond.

As a member of the acclaimed China Magpie ensemble under Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project, Gao will be joined by

Wu Tong, Lui Lin and Hui Li, who performed a sold out event two years ago at the Master Players Chamber Series.
