Bright Sheng

Festival Program
BRIGHT SHENG, DAVID HENRY HWANG: The Silver River
Composer Sheng and playwright Hwang met at the Festival years ago, where they formed a collaboration that would lead to The Silver River, a remarkable work that brings together Western and Chinese musical and theatrical traditions. Their discussion includes traditional Chinese instrumental performance and excerpt screenings from the opera.

Generously sponsored in part by the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.
