The Li Family Daoist Band (Daoist Ritual Music) and the Zhang Family Band (Old Tune Traditional Music with Shadow Puppets) present traditional Chinese music performed at village rituals, including temple fairs, weddings, funerals, and seasonal festivities. This music can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and is still deeply rooted in the daily life of Chinese villagers today. The program is hosted and curated by the renowned pipa virtuoso Wu Man.

Presented by Carnegie Hall in partnership with World Music Institute.
