【神奇的人聲】：「因紐特喉音唱法」 遇見「蒙古呼麥」 –
蒙特婁Oktoecho樂團、溫哥華蘭韻樂團、蒙古音樂家 Anand Avirmed 合作演出
Annex Theatre, 823 Seymour Street, Vancouver
Katajjaq (Inuit throat singing) and Khoomei (Mongolian throat singing) meet in the collaboration between Orchid Ensemble (Vancouver), Oktoecho (Montreal), and Anand Avirmed (Mongolia). Katajjaq and khoomei are ancestral throat singing techniques that reproduce sounds heard in nature – water flowing, the wind blowing, echoes in mountains, the calls of birds… Coincidentally, these are also major themes in traditional Chinese music. In addition, the two ensembles offer unique cross-cultural instrumentations. This concert is a hybrid that crosses between Inuit, Mongolian, Chinese, Japanese, European, and Arabic music and it will be the first time katajjaq and khoomei are presented together on stage in BC.
co-presented with the Orchid Ensemble, with additional support from the BC Arts Council
Oktoecho’s travel to Vancouver is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts

【台灣音樂與爵士樂的對話】-
揚琴演奏家王雅平(台灣/法國)與溫哥華樂手

Yaping Wang makes her Canadian debut with a diverse program. Her solo work employs electronic processing and improvisation on the traditional Chinese hammered dulcimer. Wang`s compositions for jazz trio with Vancouver trumpeter John Korsrud and bassist Tommy Babin draw influence from her Taiwanese musical roots. She will also perform with harpist Albertina Chan and erhu player Lan Tung in the delicate and graceful work `Scented Flowers` by Vancouver composer Mark Armanini.
