2022 CONCERT SERIES:
DIVERTISSEMENTS CHINOIS
Yeo Yat-Soon: harpsichord
Agnes Chin: guzheng
'FIRST ENCOUNTERS' - Musical Journeys from the Dawn of Globalisation
I am delighted to be presenting a series of concerts which explores the fascinating musical cross-currents which ran between Europe and Asia in the 17th and 18th centuries. This was a time of interesting cultural contacts made and sustained primarily by Jesuit missionaries who travelled to and settled in China. These include Matteo Ricci who lived under the Ming Dynasty in the late 16th and early 17th centuries and Jean Joseph Marie Amiot who worked for the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong in the late 18th century. In addition to their wide-spanning scholarship in and translations from Chinese, both men also wrote about Chinese music. A contemporary of Amiot's was the artist Giuseppe Castiglione who combined Chinese and European artistic styles (see painting on the left). I will also be performing selections from 'The Oriental Miscellany' - transcriptions for harpsichord of 'Airs of Hindoostan' by the Irish musician William Hamilton Bird, who lived in Calcutta.
For details of of individual concerts see the full listing below.
