Did You Know? The pipa is a four-stringed, pear-shaped Chinese lute with a history of over 2,000 years!
“If any one artist has become an ambassador for multiple artistic communities, it’s the vibrant pipa master Wu Man. A one-woman force of nature, she is a key figure not only for bringing Chinese traditional music to new audiences, but in becoming a muse for all manner of contemporary composers, from Tan Dun to Terry Riley.”
