“… unique sound and repertoire. A fascinating game of contrasts between the sweet, soaring timbres of Xiang Gao’s violin and Cathy Yang’s huskier and sexier erhu. The erhu joins in [with the violin] so brilliantly that after a while it becomes hard to sort the two string instruments out.”

6-WIRE is inspired by the historical connection between the erhu, the Chinese 2- stringed violin, and the 4-stringed violin – both essential leading instruments in the East and West. A Chamber Music America grantee with unique instrumentation, the Delaware-based 6-wire piano trio is a site-specific, pioneering American ensemble that mixes traditional romanticism and virtuosity with new chamber music. The three virtuosi celebrate diversity in performance, weave stories and context into their concerts, and transform how live instrumental music is experienced.
