    Bard Chinese Ensemble Winter Concert 2025

    Shutong Li, conductor

    Sunday, December 7, 2025
    2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EST/GMT-5
    Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space
    Celebrate the holiday season with an enchanting program of new music from the Bard Chinese Ensemble! 
    This year’s program flows like a river of imagination — from the mist-veiled bridges of Jiagnan to the shadowed realm of spirits and demons, re-imagined through the lens of a German composer. One work invites the audience to experience three Asian fruits, transforming taste into sound, while the finale — essentially a Chinese La Mer — evokes the many facets of China’s rivers. Through these journeys, tradition breathes anew: in the poetry of nature, the pulse of myth, the colors and fragrances of tropical fruit, and the eternal song of flowing water.
    Come enjoy the sensational sounds of this large ensemble featuring a unique blend of Chinese and Western instruments. Ensemble music director Shutong Li conducts.
    FREE and open to the public.
