Tangram x Beibei Wang: 五行 Wu Xing – Five Elements

The collective of the five elements (五行) is central to Chinese philosophy and informs knowledge of cosmology, medicine and martial arts, amongst many other cultural practices. In this special evening, fire, water, wood, metal and earth are transformed into an arresting spectrum of sound combining Chinese folksong, Peking Opera and Western Classical music.

She has been heralded by the Wall Street Journal for her 'high-energy virtuosity' and by The Times for her 'flamboyant' performance style. Tangram, Associate Artists at LSO St Luke's, are a trailblazing, London-based music collective growing transnational community by creatively celebrating Chinese cultures.
