arbre nuage – contemporary music for erhu

Home » contemporary music » arbre nuage

in arbre nuage, six composers explore the ehru, an instrument which is not well known in the western world (but very famous in the far east) through the exceptional personality of the young and very sensitive erhu player wang ying-chieh.

this project around the creation of a contemporary repertoire for the erhu (a two-stringed string instrument also called chinese violin), initiated since 2010 by the tpmc association, makes a sonic connection between new chinese and taiwanese repertoire and contemporary exploration in the far west.
this international project is the result of a rich collaboration in all cultural aspects: creation, pedagogy, forum, seminars, conferences, meetings, etc., resulting in commissions from young composers.
the guest instruments, the accordion, piano and the guitar further deepen the link through creation.
