“Wu wields [the sheng] on stage like a harmonica on steroids.” —Financial Times

This program features the world premiere of Distant Mountain, commissioned by Sotheby’s and inspired by the paintings of Chinese modern master Wu Guanzhong (1919–2010), in an arrangement for sheng, cello and vibraphone by the composer Eli Marshall. The piece reunites Wu and Marshall, who collaboratively composed the score for Wong Kar Wai’s film Ashes of Time Redux (2008).
