Gao Hong and Chinese Music Ensemble recognized by Pioneer Press concert review
Hong is director of the Chinese Music Ensemble and senior lecturer in Chinese musical instruments at Carleton.
Gao Hong, director of the Chinese Music Ensemble and senior lecturer in Chinese musical instruments, was recognized alongside the Chinese Music Ensemble in a concert review from the Pioneer Press, “Review: MN Orchestra rings in Lunar New Year with music, culture and a dancing dragon.” The Carleton ensemble performed as part of the pre-concert for the Minnesota Orchestra on February 26.
Pipa player Gao Hong and the Carleton College Chinese Music Ensemble got things started with a pre-show in the atrium before the concert. Hong performed in group pieces and accompanied soloists throughout the short presentation. An exquisite player herself, Hong mostly let her talented students take the spotlight for the warm-up show.
