"Music without borders" has long been the tagline of every non-Anglo-American artist in the heterogeneous world music genre. But tonight's installment of Dusk Variations doesn't just pay lip service to cross-cultural musical expression. Performed in tribute to Barbara Tiao, the late founder of the Chinese Fine Arts Society, In Tribute: A Chinese Voyage features contributions from Chicago violinist (and member of thrash-metal band Earthen Grave) Rachel Barton Pine, longtime CSO clarinetist John Bruce Yeh, erhu artist Betti Xiang and percussion ensemble Cheng Da Drumming Team. Blending dynamic timbres and techniques from traditional Chinese music with Western chamber compositions, this East-meets-West pastiche bridges the gap between two seemingly disparate musical styles, while highlighting the mutually complementary elements of each.
