A Moving Sound at Stephens Auditorium
Stephens Auditorium, managed by VenuWorks, is pleased to announce A Moving Sound on Thurs., Oct. 3. General Admission tickets are available at the Stephens Ticket Office or at ticketmaster.com.
Fusing traditional influences with a global sensibility, award winning ensemble A Moving Sound (Sheng Don聲動) from Taiwan, built a worldwide following through their joyous mix of original music and dance. Featuring the distinctive timbres of the erhu (Taiwanese fiddle) and zhong ruan (lute), and the transcendent vocals of Mia Hsieh, A Moving Sound has devised a unique and compelling style that is all their own – a Taiwanese whirlwind that veers between the meditative and the exuberant with irrepressible spirit. “When we had an opportunity to assist this international group in filling a date, we were excited to continue offering world music to Ames and the surrounding communities with this Taipei based group,” said Tammy Koolbeck, Stephens Auditorium’s Executive Director. “Blending together musical traditions from the East with Eastern and Western instruments, this evening will be full of joy and harmony.”
A Moving Sound has been featured on BBC Radio 3, National Public Radio in the U.S., and on The Discovery Channel. They have performed and taught in twenty countries including The Kennedy Center, W.O.M.A.D. (picked as a festival highlight by London Financial Times) and the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
“A Moving Sound is one of the most original outfits working in the world music arena today, an inspired marriage of Taiwanese traditional sounds and Western experimentation that forges an important new musical dialogue.” –Tom Pryor, music supervisor for National Geographic.com
