Piano, Viola, and Erhu
After seeing an advertisement in the newspaper for a live show featuring a trio of piano, viola and Chinese erhu, Ken and I decided to check it out. To our surprise it was actually held in a small hard to find bar with very few people attending. However, it was actually very good music and I really enjoyed it.

Sorry, comments are closed at this time.
My ex-girlfriend’s father was from Hong Kong and he was teaching me the erhu (yewu in Cantonese).
That instrument is SO HARD because there aren’t really any markings on the strings you just have to know what feels right for a note. It probably took me a couple of hours just to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” with any level of consistency.
The fact that there were few people there makes it even more appetizing as it was probably much more personal of an experience.
