Ka Dao Yin (Taiwan)
Performing improvised music on a cross-cultural instrumentation, Ka Dao Yin’s members are based in Taipei and London. With its signature combination of piano, C-saxophone, sheng (Chinese mouth organ), and zheng (Chinese zither), the music of Ka Dao Yin stands at the crossroads of contemporary classical music, Chinese folk music, free improvisation, and jazz. This unique presentation invites students to participate in sound exploration. Followed by demonstrations on the instruments, the students will help the musicians to create instant compositions by suggesting words, images, colours, moods, and stories. Musical ideas will also be realized with movements and dances. The presentation will finish with a Q & A in the end.
Sounds Global Ensemble (Vancouver)
An ensemble that sounds like how Vancouver looks, it’s diverse repertoire is drawn from Jewish, Persian, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Indian and Chinese music. This band is comprised of some of Vancouver’s most active musicians in the world music scene: Moshe Denburg on guitar, Ali Razmi on tar, Jonathan Bernard on percussion, Lan Tung on erhu (Chinese 2-string violin), and Bic Hoang on danbau (Vietnamese 1-string zither). They are also singers, creating an unusual mix of ethnic vocal styles.
What is Sound of Dragon Music Festival?
The 2nd Sound of Dragon Music Festival will present various concerts and outreach activities in April 2016 in the Greater Vancouver, leading up to the 3-day festival on April 22-24, 2016 at the Roundhouse. It is Vancouver’s first festival devoted to “Chinese music”, showcasing very diverse musical styles: ancient folk and classical repertoire, contemporary compositions, jazz, world, fusion, and avant-garde improvisation in solo, chamber, and orchestral performances. While presenting authentic traditional music, the festival promotes creativity and innovation in imaginative new ensembles and projects utilizing unusual cross-cultural instrumentations. By presenting musicians, ensembles and composers from different ethnicities, nationalities, and musical genres, Sound of Dragon re-defines “Chinese music” and reflects Vancouver’s growing multicultural environment, representing a highly creative music scene.

卡到音即興樂團(Ka Dao Yin)－臺灣第25屆傳藝金曲獎最佳跨界音樂得獎團隊首次來溫哥華
成立於2009年8月，「卡到音」由台灣鋼琴家李世揚及德籍薩克斯風演奏家卡領軍。團名「卡到音」諧音“卡到陰”－ 英文to be caught up in，形容陷入了某種膠著的狀態；中文則說明了即興演奏時可能遭遇的危險與未知，演奏者如遇鬼魅般的神祕經驗。「卡到音」的音樂裡，同時存在著前衛的聲響實驗、純樸的民族樂風、嚴謹的古典思維、動感的爵士搖滾，這是一種難以定義，具多重性且融合的新音樂。
