“While the totem of Western classical music is Bach, the totem of the Mongolians is nature and Genghis Khan,” says Tan Dun. How to bring Bach to engage in a dialogue with Genghis Khan has been Tan’s long cherished hope. On this occasion, together with renowned rock band Hanggai and the Changsha Symphony Orchestra, Tan Dun will take the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, dubbed "the father of classical music", as a medium for a dialogue with the Mongolian rock music along with digital animation and multimedia technology. It will give the audience an exceptional auditory feast that connects East and West, past and future, as well as technology and nature ecology. The music pieces such as The Rising Sun, Invention - Four Seasons and Grassland My Beautiful Home possesses an embodied connection to the landscapes of grassland, mountain and river that will deliver the message of protecting nature to the theatre-goers. Tan’s latest composition, Prelude – When Bach Meets Genghis Khan, takes the musical idioms that the audience are familiar with to lay out the dialogue between the cultures of the East and the West. In addition, singer-songwriter Tan Weiwei will perform, in a Western instrumental music setting with rustic traditional oriental vocal style, her signature piece, Four Pieces for Female Voice. It will set off interestingly the macho rock band Hanggai.
