I had a similar experience in Wales, about which I am now settling down to write. I know already, in trying to describe the experience of hearing this music and the interplay of west and east, that I won’t be able to come up with a line better than your last: “I have to say that seeing an erhu being played alongside a Western violin is something akin to seeing two living kindred spirits meeting for the first time and bonding for life.” Thanks for both articles, Chris, and for lifting up this incredible music to view for all of us.
