The Chai Found Music Workshop brings their revival of sizhu (Chinese chamber music) to Long Island. Confronted by the westernization of Chinese music, this six-person performance ensemble was founded to restore classical Chinese music and find news ways to innovate these traditions to bring sizhu into the new millennium. Using the six most representative instruments of this Chinese musical tradition: the erhu, the di, the pipa, the guzheng, the yangqin, and the ruanxian, Chai Found grounds itself in, yet transcends, the limits of their genre. The unique characteristics of sizhu music have attracted numbers of Western composers to write new pieces for the ensemble. The gaps between Eastern and Western culture, traditional and contemporary, are successfully bridged by Chai Found in performances throughout the globe and now Long Island. In collaboration with Zen Appetit and also sponsored by the Council of Cultural Affairs, Taiwan.
