Shadow Play: Electro Acoustic Cải Lương

From the organizer:

Two of Vietnam’s most promising young musicians, Lương Huệ Trinh and Nguyễn Thùy Dung have teamed up with Đào Văn Trung for a re-working of Cải Lương.

Not the cheeriest genre at the best of times, Cải Lương – a blend of folk and classical used in theatre – is about to be dragged through the dark innards of modern electronic music by Lương Huệ Trinh. The young contemporary musician has ably lent her moody soundscapes to The Onion Cellar’s Musick to Play in the Dark and tracks like Black Circle and Black Moon cement the running theme of her delicately arranged electro acoustic compositions.

Joining Trinh will be award-winning violinist Đào Văn Trung and đàn tranh player Nguyễn Thùy Dung. Trung will give a rendition of his Cai Luong inspired composition Hồn Việt (Vietnamese Soul). Adding colour to everything will is the ever-excellent Nguyễn Thùy Dung who brought Contemporary Ca Trù to ATK last month.

Together they’ll be condensing Cai Luong’s theatrical history into their modern interpretation of the genre to bring the audience a score that reflects the highs and lows of their personal stories.

If you liked Contemporary Ca Trù, you’re in for a treat.
