Dear friends, the Baton Rouge Chinese Culture Club and the LSU School of Music cordially invite you to a concert by the Houston Chinese Traditional Music Group at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, June 18, 2011 at the LSU School of Music Recital Hall.

The HCTMG is an ensemble of great variety. Members range widely in age and represent a diverse cross section of the Houston community--from recent immigrants and established business people to stay-at-home parents and students. Their goal is "to provide a venue for performers of traditional Chinese music to share their passion with the Houston community". With a current membership of more than 30 amateur and professional musicians, the HCTMG orchestra feature a full spectrum of traditional Chinese musical instruments--erhu(Chinese fiddle), bamboo flute, suona (oboe), pipa and ruan (lutes), zheng (bell), hammer dulcimer, hulusi (cucubit flute), guzhen (zither), etc. In addition, the orchestra incorporates western instruments such as cello, double bass, piano and accordion and present a unique marriage of Asian and Western repertoire, arranges and played on Chinese traditional instruments for the enjoyment of audiences of all background.
