New York Times – Nov. 5, 2009
Bright Sheng (‘93SoA), like most of his composer colleagues now living in the United States, was sent to rural areas during the Cultural Revolution. Though musicians were deprived of a formal education, they were often exposed to local folk music traditions, as can be heard in Mr. Sheng’s “Colors of Crimson,” performed at Carnegie Hall’s Festival Celebrating Chinese Voices running through Nov. 10.
