Programme Synopsis Let Stringanza, the longest existing Chinese String Quartet in Singapore, bring you through an in-depth exploration of the Erhu, commonly referred to as the Chinese violin, and its higher and lower pitched relatives, the Gaohu and Zhonghu, through the performance of a diverse genre of music accompanied by the Western Cello. Besides being able to appreciate the eclectic blend of music produced by the East meets West combination of instruments, participants would also be able to learn about the roles each instrument plays in a String Quartet setting, as well as an insight into why the Cello was used instead of its Chinese counterpart, the Gehu.
