“[Tan Dun’s] language, a mix of Hollywood grandeur and primal, percussive vitality, was consistent throughout the evening, yet each segment had its own distinct sound.” —Sydney Morning Herald
Celebrate the Chinese New Year with a vibrant performance by the China National Symphony Orchestra that blends sounds from East and West and includes imagery from multiple sources including the China National Shadow Puppet Theatre. Renowned composer, conductor, and Honorary Artistic Director Tan Dun will take the podium for this special evening.

Stravinsky’s Fireworks and The Firebird will serve as bookends to works by Guan Xia and Dun, including Dun’s The Martial Arts Trilogy, based on his Academy Award-winning scores for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero and Dun’s Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds.
