Vancouver erhu soloist/vocalist/composer Lan Tung and cellist Bo Peng have teamed up to create a unique repertoire, ranging from original compositions to arrangements of Chinese folk and classical melodies, incorporating improvisation and diverse influences, such as Indian and Central Asian music. The expressive sound of the erhu/Chinese violin sits in the mid to high register, very similar to the female voices, while the cello’s deep warm sound resembles the male voices. The two instruments complement each other well, capable of creating beautiful harmonies, graceful melodies, and energetic rhythms. Their sounds are completed by the rich colours of percussion, performed by Martin Fisk.

Crossing between Vancouver’s new music, improvised music and world music scenes, Lan Tung is the artistic director of Orchid Ensemble, Sound of Dragon Society, and Proliferasian.

Lan Tung’s music often experiments with contradictions by taking culturally specific materials outside their context.

Incorporating improvisation and graphic notations, Lan’s compositions and performances are released on numerous CDs, winning an International Independent Music Awards and multiple nominations by JUNO, Canadian Independent Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards, and Western Canadian Music Awards.

Originally from Taiwan, Lan has studied graphic score with Barry Guy, improvisation with Mary Oliver, Hindustani music with Kala Ramnath, Uyghur music with Abdukerim Osman, and Mongolian horsehead fiddle with Bayar, in addition to her studies of Chinese music since a young age.
