\"\"The extraordinary (and, in terms of the Taiwanese contemporary music scene, extraordinarily important) C-Camerata Taipei <\/a>have commissioned me to compose a new fifteen minute work for them, for soprano, guitar, sheng, pipa and ‘cello.\u00a0 A reduced version for trio of sheng, pipa and ‘cello will first be premiered in a concert titled Die Pipa: Volksmusik aus Taiwan im Spiegel Unserer Zeit, at the Passauer Saiten festival in Passau, Germany, and the full quintet version (with added soprano and guitar) will be premiered in the C-Camerata International Festival for Contemporary Music “Crossing Sounds”, at Forum Music Taipei on March 30 2024.<\/p>\n
