Guangdong Music Series : Concert by Wang Peiyu and Xianshi Ensemble of Shantou

Xianshi music is a kind of ensemble music of Chaozhou, made up mainly of silk string and plucked-string instruments.  The name of xianshi might have originated from the early tablatures of ancient poetry scored for strings, known as the ‘two-four notation’.  Wang Peiyu is one of the key figures in promoting the Chaozhou music genres of xianshi and xiyue in recent years.  It is the first time he is bringing the ensemble he founded, the Xianshi Ensemble of Shantou, to Hong Kong.  Its debut performance can be highly expected as it offers the local audience a chance to understand and enjoy xianshi music of Chaozhou as interpreted by the new generation.
