Jen Shyu Solo Performance NYC The Stone July 1

Dear friends,

Hope to see you July 1!

Jade Tongue solo LIVE RECORDING
Wednesday, July 1, 8pm @ the Stone (July curated by Brandon Ross)
$10
NW corner of 2nd Street & Avenue C (there is a tiny sign on the door and a black curtain drapes the inside of it, so just push the door open)
East Village, NYC http://thestonenyc.com/

I'll be sharing solo material for voice, piano, moon lute, and er hu, in languages including English, Portuguese, Spanish, Taiwanese, and Mandarin, featuring poetry by Brazilian poet Patrícia Magalhães, Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Mengjiao, and text by Esteban Montejo. The rare, two-stringed moon lute is an authentic Taiwanese instrument I've been learning from elders in the village of Hengchun, Taiwan, and have written new music for as well. I also want to try a Taiwanese indigenous ceremonial song (Puyuma tribe) with you, as there is an essential counterpoint line that goes with the melody.

This will be a send-off of sorts, as I'll leave 2 days later for 3 months in China, Taiwan, and Europe. So hope to see you before autumn comes again... Jen
