China and Japan share a rich cultural history that can be traced back more than a thousand years. Both societies share many musical traditions and influences and have similar styles and performance practices. For the world premiere performance of “Asian Crossroads,” Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man and Japanese percussionist Haruka Fujii, fellow members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, perform solo works from their respective native lands, and unite in improvisational works that fuse their two styles.
