The third concert of the Americas tour by the Chamber Ensemble of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) School of Music, led by Professor Ye Xiaogang, was held on February 27th at the recital hall of Departamento de Artes Musicales y Sonoras (DAMuS) affiliated with the Universidad Nacional de las Artes UNA, Argentina. Among the distinguished guests in attendance were Wang Wei, Chinese Ambassador to Argentina, and José Manuel Serrano, Director of the Distat Music Festival.
Earlier that afternoon, with the assistance of two Chinese–Spanish interpreters, the delegation from Shenzhen met with their Argentine counterparts for an academic exchange. The two deans, Prof Ye Xiaogang and Prof Cristina Vázquez, engaged in constructive and in-depth discussions on future inter-institutional collaboration and on the cultural and musical significance of tango.
With this concert, the three performances of the Americas tour under the theme “Light on the Strings” have now taken place in the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Argentina. Through these appearances, the composers and performers have brought contemporary music by living Chinese composers to audiences across the Americas.
