Singing Stories in Four Chinese Dialects

Ho Lin Huay, Artistic Director

12-Nov-15 14:00

Singing Stories in Four Chinese Dialects

Literally grandparents tales in four dialects. The artistic director tells that through Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew and Cantonese folk songs, four tales are told in this musical journey. And the reason for such a performance: the preservation of four voices; the preservation of four cultures.
