About Piao Zhu Songs, dance, drums, cymbals, gongs, and bamboo
performed by Byron Au Yong, Karen Akada Sakata, Ying Zhou, Tophe Anderson, and special
guests.
Piao Zhu began as a ceremonial work created for the Seattle Asian Art
Museum in 2006. The project was inspired by the legend of the Seven Sages
of the Bamboo Grove - a band of Chinese scholars ad poets who met to
escape political and societal duress during the 3rd century BCE.
Since then, Flying Bamboo has performed as part of the Community Arts Day Celebration for Bainbridge Performing Arts, the Arts-in-Nature Festival and other events throughout the Pacific Northwest.
NewsPiao Zhu: Flying Bamboo was recommended to 4Culture's 2009 Touring Arts Roster. Flying Bamboo is available to perform for various functions with one to three musicians.
