Mountain, Water, and Sentiments: Classical Chinese Qin and Zheng Music

The Eide Center is excited to host a performance by master musician Dr. Haiqiong Deng. Dr. Deng will be performing traditional Chinese music on the 21-stringed zheng and 7-stringed qin – two instruments with long and rich histories. The concert will be preceded by a brief introduction, given by Nicholas Constantino (Director of Research and Programs), to traditional theories of music, nature, and emotion from early China. Dr. Deng will then perform an assortment of pieces which highlight music’s ability to reconnect us all to nature. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.

Internationally recognized musician and scholar, Dr. Deng has performed and lectured at venues across North America, Europe, and Asia, including a debut at Carnegie Hall. Her music has earned her numerous awards, including the prestigious Florida Cultural Heritage Award.
