Wu Man won’t be playing Beethoven and it isn’t certain whether she’ll be wearing bluejeans, Eric E. Harrison writes in Thursday’s Arkansas Weekend section.
But she will be the soloist in the Concerto for String Orchestra and Pipa by Tan Dun this weekend for a pair of “Beethoven and Bluejeans” concerts with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and conductor Philip Mann,
Wu Man is considered the premier player of the pipa, a lutelike, 2,000-year-old traditional Chinese instrument with a wooden body and four strings with frets, played by plucking the strings with the fingers.
Read an interview with Wu Man in tomorrow's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
