"King of Zheng" to Give Recital in HK
Renowned Hong Kong zheng soloist So Chun-bo, dubbed the "king of zheng in Hong Kong," will give a recital next month, the Information Services Department of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government said on Tuesday.
Playing in a unique style, So will perform his compositions and rearranged works, including the theme from "Yesterday's Glitter," "Fish Hawks Dabbling in the Water," "Red Candles' Tears," and "The Worship" (zheng and cello ensemble), a press release from the department said.
Zheng is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It belongs to the zither family of string instruments.
