About this event

In the far reaches of northwestern China lies Dunhuang, a cultural crossroads of the ancient Silk Road, famed for its hundreds of caves filled with Buddhist frescoes depicting music and dance. Inspired by these vivid murals, the Eurasia Consort brings the sounds of the Tang Dynasty back to life more than 1,200 years later. Through reconstructed instruments, ancient performance practices, and a spirit of discovery, the ensemble founded by Tomoko Sugawara and Gus Denhard invites audiences to experience this ancient musical heritage. The group performs on a distinctive collection of reconstructed period instruments — including the Chinese kugo (angular harp), Korean piri and saenghwang, the Japanese shakuhachi, biwa, and hokyo metallophone — instruments that carried court and ceremonial music across East Asia for centuries.
