Intensely emotional, exquisitely delicate, amusingly humorous, utterly mesmerizing, or vigorously explosive, in the hands of creative musicians Lan Tung and Marina Hasselberg, the versatility of the erhu (Chinese violin) and cello are displayed in full ranges. The two instruments naturally complement each other, capable of creating beautiful harmonies, graceful melodies, energetic rhythms, and rich textures. Originally from Portugal, Marina performs in diverse genres, including baroque music, new music, improvisation, and interdisciplinary works that blur genre boundaries. Lan Tung transforms her Taiwanese root to cross between Vancouver’s new music, improvised music and world music scenes. Her voice either in harmony or unison with the erhu adds another dimension. This duo’s music blends Asian and European classical traditions, contrasted with creative exploration of new sonic possibilities and extended techniques. Together the musicians deliver captivating performances with original compositions, new interpretation of Chinese music, and instant compositions to take the audiences on exhilarating rides.
