With a gory program that is full of sharpness and power, it shatters the existing concept of the "healing erhu!
The swell of the Yellow River, the ancient song piercing the azure sky, the mysterious western regions, the scorching desert, the herds of horses galloping across the grasslands... A magnificent continental landscape depicted by the interplay and collision of vivid string sounds and sparkling sound flying debris.
The cutting-edge world of erhu, which will not heal you in the slightest, will be performed by the explosive duo "JADE," Makiko Naruo, a windbreaker in the Japanese erhu world, and the pianist Eriko Ozaki, who will incite them.
