Ricefield Arts and Cultural Centre, Albion Street

A unique event bringing together improvised music using traditional Chinese instruments, spoken word performances and projected artworks by German artist Thomas Jacobi.

This multimedia collaboration drew on Jacobi’s performance and works on paper, and featured spontaneous improvised vocals and music by the award nominated Harmony Ensemble; made up of the fascinating voice of Fong Liu, the haunting traditional Chinese sounds of Zheng and Percussion (played by Hooi Ling Eng) and bamboo flutes and bawu (played by Eddie McGuire).

Liverpool based poets, David Greygoose and Eleanor Rees, performed accompanied by live music with parallel Chinese translations supplied by Dr. Yupin Chung, Cuator of Chinese Art, Burrell Collection. The ensemble rounded off the evening with a selection of traditional songs and music.
