The Map & Paper Concerto

谭盾 is coming to town.
Whilst everyone is buzzing over Jacky Cheung's World Tour, I'm contented with 谭盾 coming appearance in Jun'07.

Extracted from Singapore Arts Council

"Oscar-winning composer Tan Dun conducts the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in a sumptuous concert. In The Map, a Concerto for Cello, Video and Orchestra, traditional music of southwest China presented on docu-film interacts with live orchestral music that connects generations and cultures across years and over continents.

In Paper Concerto for Paper Percussion and Orchestra, paper of different sizes and strengths are variously manipulated as percussion instruments, including paper cymbals, wax paper bags, and a ‘paper thunder tube’ invented by Tan Dun."

If you don't know him, unlikely. He's the man who provided a score in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon together with Cello Master Yo-Yo Ma.

It's got Tan Dun & my fav string instrument, Cello...

I shouldn't miss this.
