Featuring Ronnie Malley, Lucas Harris, and Wen Zhao, the Lute Legends Collective is a performing association of musicians who represent ancient plucked-string traditions. It’s certainly possible that some combinations of their instruments would have sounded together centuries ago, such as a pipa player jamming together with an oud player somewhere along the old Silk Road. However, the collective’s aim is less to recreate history and more to delight in creating a new arena where these old instruments can make music together.
This event presented in partnership with SAMA: Music & Art.
