The East meets West


I went to a Chinese concert with all the traditional Chinese Instruments. I was told it was one of the best concert groups in Taiwan. While I heard this, I didn't know what to expect since Heidi, the music guru on Team Taiwan, said the the sound was very shrill. All I have to say is the sound was amazing. They played many songs that I did not recognize, but when they played Western songs that I did recognize the Chinese instruments with the cellos, drums and harp gave it a sound that was simply beautiful to hear. The flute duo that I heard was also great. I wish that I would have taped some of it, but they requested no videotaping so I respected that wish.
