The Seventh China Now Music Festival Reviewed in China Daily

The China Now Music Festival, a collaboration between the US-China Music Institute of the Bard College Conservatory of Music and the Central Conservatory of Music, China, was reviewed in China Daily. The festival, now in its seventh season and with the theme Composing the Future, performed on Saturday at Carnegie Hall in New York City, where Sun Yuming, a composer and lecturer on electronic music composition at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, introduced his piece “Starry Night.” The composition featured AI-driven visuals which were rendered in real time to blend physical and virtual instruments. “This approach combines the unique characteristics of traditional instruments with the innovations of electronic music, integrating AI throughout the entire performance—not only in sound but also in the visual effects on stage.” Sun told China Daily.
