Understanding the instruments helps you appreciate the depth of the performance.
The Guzheng is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument with a history spanning over 2,500 years. With 21 strings stretched over a large resonating body, it produces a rich, resonant sound that can range from delicate and meditative to powerful and dramatic.
Often called the "Chinese harp" in the West, the Guzheng is one of the most beloved instruments in Chinese classical music and is central to the cultural identity of China. Its sound is instantly recognisable and deeply evocative.
2,500+ year history 21 strings Classical & ContemporaryThe Dizi is a traditional Chinese transverse flute made from bamboo. Its bright, expressive tone has made it one of the most popular instruments in Chinese folk and classical music for over 9,000 years - making it one of the oldest instruments in the world.
The Dizi's unique sound comes partly from a special membrane (dimo) that covers one of its holes, giving it a distinctive buzzing resonance. It is capable of expressing a wide range of emotions, from joyful and playful to deeply melancholic.
