The Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society (PCMS) presents the dynamic
Ying Quartet in its signature “Musical Dim Sum” program, Sunday, March
26, 2006, 7 PM, CAPA Theater in the Cultural District, Pittsburgh. In
exploration of its cultural heritage, the Quartet will perform short
works, or “samplings” by contemporary Chinese-American composers
including three movements from Tan Dun's Eight Colors Quartet, Zhou
Long's “Song of the Ch'in,” Chen Yi's “Shuo” and “The Talking Fiddle.”
The performance concludes with one of French composer Claude Debussy's
early compositions, the soulful Quartet in G minor, Op. 10. A
Meet-the-Artists reception with Dim Sum specials in the CAPA Theater
Lobby will follow the concert.
This performance is part of PCMS’s 13th Annual Presenter-Community
Residency that will feature the Ying Quartet in a free family concert
entitled “Two-Note Wonders”, Sunday, March 26, 3PM at Bellefield
Auditorium, University of Pittsburgh, Oakland; visits to the
Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra and the CAPA High School that
include mini-concerts, Q&A and coachings for youth ensembles; a
