Harmony Chinese Music Ensemble |
|
Nominated by the Pearl Award in 2005 for creative excellence, Harmony has enthralled audiences with their wide ranging repertoire of folk music, song and dance from different ethic groups in China.
Harmony was founded in 2002 by Yanmei Wu and Eddie McGuire following informal music sessions. Their collaboration brought together Harmony and Scottish folk group, Whistlebinkies, in a new ballet Tian di Yuan for Celtic Connections. They have also collaborated with other groups from Western Classical, Iranian and African traditions. |

Canongate Kirk, Edinburgh Harmony is delighted to make its 3rd appearance in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We will be presenting a programme of solo and group pieces played on traditional Chinese instruments. As in previous appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Meimei will be entrancing the audience with her dances. We are delighted to welcome a new member to the group, Fong Liu, who has an amazing ability to adapt her voice to a wide range of styles, from the vivacious Mongolian mountain songs and gentle folk lullabies to the swing of 1930’s Shanghai jazz and modern Chinese pop.
