Performing Arts Series presents 6- WIRE

The Performing Arts Series presents 6-wire Trio. Inspired by the historical connection be-tween the Erhu, the Chinese 2-stringed violin, and the 4-stringed Western violin – both essential leading instruments, 6-WIRE was founded in 2010 by two virtuoso musicians: violinist Xiang Gao and erhu master Cathy Yang, who compose and perform contempo-rary, classical, chamber, world music, and jazz with the remarkable pianist and arranger, Matthew Brower. 6-WIRE celebrates diversity in its performances, weaving stories into its concerts, transforming how live instrumental music is experienced. Their electrifying performances redefine traditional chamber music with forward-looking compositions and commissions along with cutting-edge audio and video technology, fulfilling its mission to promote cultural exchange while attracting new chamber music audiences with new reper-toire and new sounds.
