SUMMARY:From China to Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a genre-blending journey where Grammy winners Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer join Chia Tian to unite Chinese and Appalachian folk traditions in harmony. \nCATHY FINK & MARCY MARXER\nTwo-time GRAMMY® Award Winners\, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer are master musicians with a career spanning over 40 years. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar\, five-string banjo\, ukulele\, mandolin\, cello-banjo\, and many other instruments. An eclectic folk festival on their own terms\, their repertoire ranges from classic country to western swing\, gypsy jazz to bluegrass\, and old-time string band to contemporary folk including some original gems. Their versatility defies a brief description\, perhaps “well rounded Americana” does it best. \nCathy & Marcy have performed at hundreds of bluegrass and folk festivals and taught at close to 100 music camps. The Washington Area Music Association has recognized the duo with over 65 WAMMIE Awards for folk\, bluegrass and children’s music. They have been GRAMMY nominated 12 times for their folk and children’s music. They have performed with Pete Seeger\, Theodore Bikel\, Tom Paxton\, Patsy Montana\, Riders in the Sky and a wide range of musical luminaries.  \nCHAO TIAN\nChao Tian is a Chinese dulcimer virtuoso\, improviser\, sound designer\, and visual artist. Her dexterity has led to her breaking down barriers and working across creative genres. In her work\, she explores the distinct sounds and techniques of the Chinese dulcimer in order to create a multidimensional sensation of improvisation. Her creative interest is mainly in intercultural improvisation study: applications of Chinese musical aesthetics and vocabulary\, creative synthesis in cross-disciplinary improvisation: interactions among music\, dance\, and visual art\, and improvisation in folk music. Her latest project\, Unheard Sounds\, is dedicated to better exploring the practice of the immigration arts: artistic language reshaped by immigrant artists in cross-disciplinary collaboration. \nChao’s musical adventure started at the age of five\, and at the age of twelve\, she was admitted to Middle and High School Affiliated to China Conservatory of Music\, where she majored in Chinese dulcimer studies. She was afterward recommended for immediate admission to China Conservatory of Music\, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Traditional Chinese music performance (Yangqin) (2007) and a Master of Arts in Musicology (2010). She is currently a PhD student at Boston University in Ethnomusicology.
