Bard College Conservatory of Music Presents

Zhao Xiaoxia and the Trio of Three Continents

As a part of the US-China Music Institute’s annual spring conference, Bard presents Chinese guqin virtuoso Zhao Xiaoxia for an on-stage collaboration with Gao Hong’s cross-cultural music trio, Trio of Three Continents. This unique concert celebrates the heritage of traditional string instruments from around the world, while showcasing these four artists' interpretive and improvisational mastery. 

Zhao Xiaoxia is renowned in China as a master performer of traditional and contemporary guqin music. She serves on the faculty of the prestigious Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. She will perform several solo pieces during the first half of the concert, and will join the Trio during part of the second half. 

Trio of Three Continents is a US-based ensemble and this version of the ensemble features master musicians from China, Venezuela and Syria: Gao Hong (Chinese pipa), Leonard Jacome (Venezuelan harp) and Issam Rafea (Oud), presenting a new form of collaborative world music that melds styles and sensibilities.
