2011-2012 Fine Arts Season Performance

Presented in partnership with the Asian American Cultural Center

Hailing from the Xilingol Grassland area of Inner Mongolia, AnDa Union makes their Texas debut at Texas Performing Arts. Part of a musical movement that is finding inspiration in old and forgotten songs, this vibrant young group of musicians and singers draw from a repertoire of enchanting music that had all but disappeared during China’s tumultuous recent past. Holding on to the essence of Mongolian music while creating a form of new music, they perform with indigenous instruments – the morin huur (horse head fiddle), the maodun chaoer (a three-holed flute), Mongolian versions of the lute, and the mouth harp – combining different traditions and styles of music from all over Inner and Outer Mongolia.

“AnDa Union connects with their audience via a bridge of timeless music.”
ECC OBSERVER

The 2012 national tour of the AnDa Union is part of a major, multi-year cultural exchange with Minneapolis-based Arts Midwest, the Chinese Ministry of Culture, and the US Major University Presenter’s consortium. Support for the tour has been provided by the Ministry of Culture, People’s Republic of China.
