Description:

Come join us on a journey through a performance of the ancient Chinese guzheng and vocals sung in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Alongside the performance, the history of the guzheng and its contemporary utilizations are explored. Join us in learning how to reframe the way non-western instruments are incorporated into current music and to appreciate the wide array of culture that makes L.A. so vibrant. Jett Kwong's combination of the Chinese guzheng, vocal melodies, lush strings, and electronic production transports the listener into dreamy soundscapes deemed a "balm to the spirit" (NPR). A poetic melding of languages and cultures largely inspired by her mixed heritage is bolstered by orchestral arrangements and an alt-pop sensibility.

This performance will be upstairs in the children's area of the library.
