Silk Strings & Friends: Where Tradition Swings
A vibrant celebration of music without borders, 'Silk Strings & Friends' reimagines global traditions through jazz and pop. From Mandarin pop classics and Shanghai Shidaiqu to Turkish folk songs, Arabesque and world melodies, expect soulful vocals, dazzling huqin (Chinese fiddles) and driving jazz rhythm.
Adelaide’s own Silk Strings Ensemble (Felix Wang, David Dai and Lester Wong) returns with Turkish vocal virtuoso Dr. Aysegul Altiok, drummer Satomi Ohnishi, pianist Yundi Yuan and bassist Tim Matthew. Together they create rich arrangements, surprising twists and a heartfelt tribute to cultural diversity and connection.
