the Qin and the Konghou | |||||||||||
Colloquium: Sunday February 11, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm A discussion of Chinese music from neolithic times (mainly bone flutes and pottery drums) through the tenth century CE, briefly surveying instruments of stone, ceramic, bronze, wood and silk, recovered from major archaeological sites from the Shang, Zhou, Han, Six dynasties, Tang and Five dynasties' periods. From the fifth century BCE, the focus will be on stringed instruments, especially the qin, the seven-stringed zither of self-cultivation and scholarly pursuits, and the ancient harp known as the konghou, and their practice in the modern era. Presentations will be illustrated and performance demonstrations will be on modern replicas and antique instruments . Concert: Sunday February 11, start at 6:00 pm Performance will feature ancient music for the qin zither and for the konghou harp in addition to traditional pieces from the classic eras. A reception will follow the Colloquium. Admission is free. Suggested donation ($15 for adult, $10 for senior citizen and student). For further information, call (888) 414-SING or email: [email protected] The qin (pronounced “chin”; also guqin, “ancient qin”) is a seven-stringed zither associated since the time of Confucius with self-cultivation, literature and philosophy and the visual arts of calligraphy and painting. . Unfamiliar to Westerners, it is even little known in the East, even though its performance tradition dates back to China’s classic era. Music for the qin has been transmitted to us partly by oral tradition and through preservation of tablature in printed manuals. Playing the qin requires mastery of a unique notation in use for over a millennium. The New York Qin Society is the only East Coast organization devoted to the qin. NYQS was formed in 2000 by a group of musicians, artists, writers and Sinologists to explore and enjoy the music and culture of the qin. Although its initial focus was for the enjoyment and education of its members, NYQS began to give public events in 2001. Since then, it has held performances in various venues on the East Coast. The February 11th performance continues a partnership with Greenwich House Music School (website at www.greenwichhouse.org/music.htm ), which has been serving New Yorkers since 1905.
