Nanjing University Orchestra entertains at Chester’s Queen’s School
Dec 24 2009 by Jo Henwood, Chester Chronicle
THE Queen’s School resounded to the authentic sounds of China when the Nanjing University Orchestra paid a vist.
The orchestra entertained girls and staff with music from their province of Southern Jiangsu and other regions.
Instruments included a bamboo flute, a Chinese lute and a zheng, known in the West as a zither. They also played a Suona, an expressive reed instrument and an erhu, a stringed instrument.
Mandarin teacher David Victor said: “It was a truly mesmerising performance that encompassed a diverse range of traditional pieces from all four corners of China’s vast civilisation”.
