The work Four Scenes in Dream, composed by young Chinese composer Yu Yang, presented an inclusive form and created parts for the Chinese and Indian instruments to have not only solo parts but also occasions to play together.
Conducted by Hu Yongyan Air Jordan 11 Win Like 96 Size 12 , the EOS Symphony Orchestra performed along with Liu, who played both yangqin and guqin, Indian santoor player Tarun Bhattacharya, tabla player Vijay Ghate and Chinese Tambura player Du Yu.
"What we try to do is to put Chinese melodies in the Indian music framework and merge them with symphonic language," Liu says. "In the work Air Jordan 11 Retro Win Like 96 Womens , there is also space for each solo instrumentalist to improvise."
The title of the concert "East Meets East" is a term that Liu created with reference to "West Meets East", a record that violinist Yehudi Menuhin and sitar player Ravi Shankar made in 1966.
"When Shankar visited China, he was very interested in traditional Chinese music and wanted to collaborate with Chinese musicians," Liu says. "It is a pity that he didn't realize this idea during his lifetime. I'm trying to make it happen."
The concert with the EOS Symphony Orchestra is actually already the third of the East Meets East concerts.
In December 2009, Liu had the first music dialogue with Indian music Air Jordan 11 Retro Win Like 96 Retail , performing with the famous santoor master Pandit Tarun Bhattachar in Kolkata.

Yangqin is a Chinese hammered dulcimer that originated from Persia. Today, various hammered dulcimers are played not only in China, but also Eastern Europe, the Middle East Air Jordan 11 Retro Win Like 96 Mens , India, Iran and Pakistan.
Liu studied yangqin since childhood. She got her master's degree at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing in 1994 and her PhD at Eotvos Lorand University in Hungary in 2008. As a fellow of the Ford Foundation, she also studied at the Delhi University of India in 2009.
As a professor of Central Conservatory of Music, vice-president of the Yangqin Association of China and council member of the Cimbalom (Eastern European hammered dulcimer) World Association, Liu focuses not only on her performance of yangqin but also the promotion of the instrument in the world.
"Hammered dulcimer is a world instrument Air Jordan 11 Win Like 96 Womens , and yangqin has its unique sound in the big family," Liu says. "I hope through musical dialogues with hammered dulcimers from other parts of the world, yangqin will become more popular internationally."
Liu says the "East Meets East" project of Chinese and Indian musicians will continue, while she is planning another project for Chinese yangqin musicians to collaborate with santoor players from Iran, where the hammered dulcimer originated.
