Chinese pipa virtuoso Min Xiao-Fen performed as a soloist for the famed
Nanjing National Music Orchestra before relocating to the US in 1992. Since,
adventure and exploration have been a hallmark of her work, and she has
received high acclaim for her classical, new music and jazz performances,
and has performed with musicians and composers as diverse as Tan Dun, Philip
Glass, Randy Weston and John Zorn. She appears on the latest Bjork album and
her recording of improvisations with Derek Bailey was one of The Wire
magazine’s “Albums of the Year.” She is joined the exceptional cellist
Okkyung Lee who incorporates jazz, classical, Korean traditional music, and
noise with extended techniques to create her unique approach. She’s recently
performed with Wilco’s Nels Cline, Thurston Moore and Jim O’Rourke.
The performance of the Min Xiao-Fen Asian Trio is made possible by a grant
from the Philadelphia Music Project, a program of the Philadelphia Center
for Arts and Heritage, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and administered
by The University of the Arts. Sponsored by the National Association of
Asian American Professionals in Philadelphia.
