About
The Music of China Ensemble is a UCLA ethnomusicology course (ETHNMUS 68A-C and 168A-C) run as a Chinese orchestra of more than 20 traditional instruments. Its repertoire includes Kunqu opera arias, Shanghai-area silk-and-bamboo pieces, zheng music from Guangdong, large percussion works and new compositions, and students also get group lessons on yangqin and ruan, with sanxian and qin taught occasionally in small groups. Beginners are welcome, and the ensemble, which has celebrated its 60th anniversary, has given free winter and spring concerts in Schoenberg Hall.
