Kunqu Opera join harp quintet to breathe new life into the music

China Daily  

A rehearsal for the crossover concert with adapted songs from the classic Kunqu Opera The Peony Pavilion was held at Jinji Lake Concert Hall in Suzhou on July 5, 2022. A harp quintet and China's ancient Kunqu Opera will meet up in a concert by Suzhou Symphony Orchestra, which will be held on July 9 at Jinji Lake Concert Hall in Suzhou, Jiangsu province. It will be the first crossover performance by actors and actresses of Suzhou Kunqu Opera Theater and classical musicians of Suzhou Symphony Orchestra. "I listened to Kunqu Opera when I studied in Australia and the harp will play the role of traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as sanxian and pipa, in this crossover performance," says Australian harpist Jessica Fotinos, the principal harpist of Suzhou Symphony Orchestra.
