2 . Ma Xiaohui, a famous Chinese erhu performer, held a concert in New York City earlier this month. The concert began with an overture (序曲) titled Legend of the Silk Road, and then came the theme song from the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which beautifully celebrated the classic dialogue between erhu and cello (大提琴).
“This beautiful and inspiring concert wonderfully mixed classical, Chinese and cross-cultural themes. It was a feast for the ears and souls. The performance was full of creativity centered around Ma’s mastery of the instrument.” says artist Ranjit Bhatnagar.
“As a guitarist, I had the honor to perform with Ma,” says Tim Kelly. “Her powerful, moving melodies (旋律) inspired both me and the audience. It seems that in her hands, the instrument can touch the heart of every listener.”
Influenced by the lively atmosphere, the 2023 World Madam Global Overall Champion, Sepideh Behboudi, danced to the music many times with his partner Ethan Rimes and other audience.
Ma says music is an international language, and national musical instruments have their own unique characteristics. Using them as messengers, they can spread melodies of truth, goodness and beauty to all. She expresses a hope that the world can feel the charm of Chinese culture, the spiritual beauty of Chinese art and the warmth of the erhu to touch hearts.
According to Ma, her tour was not limited to just music, but also brought a healing experience to the audience. Ma with the Middle Tennessee State University Symphony performed the erhu concerto (协奏曲) Tianshan Shepherdess, as if bringing the audience to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to see the blue sky, white clouds and the carefree shepherd.
