New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV) is presenting Holiday Wonders at the Beacon Theater on Broadway, Dec. 19-24. This will be the first occasion for a Chinese symphony orchestra to accompany a performance in the Beacon Theater. Audiences will experience both the splendor of Western symphony as well as traditional Chinese folk instruments such as erhu, biwa (pipa), guzheng (Chinese zither), and the Chinese flute.
The guqin, or seven-stringed zither, is China's oldest stringed instrument, and as legend has it, its sweet sounds once helped defeat an army. Now this ancient instrument experiences a modern-day renaissance. This holiday season, NTDTVs Holiday Wonders (live at the Beacon Theater on Broadway, NYC, Dec. 19-24, 2006) brings a unique opportunity to experience the magic of traditional Chinese culture, using traditional and ancient instruments.
The great, world famous clarinetist Giora Feidman will perform in Holiday Wonders at the Beacon Theater on Broadway; three shows, Dec. 23 and 24, 2006. Feidman has chosen to be an ambassador for NTDTVs wonderful cross-cultural, East-West Holiday Show. Feidman called NTDTVs Chinese New Year Spectacular, an event that will elevate you, will elevate your sense of beauty, and it will help you to raise yourself.
NTDTVs live Chinese New Year Spectacular is more than a thrilling and enchanting music and dance performance; it is also promoting a rebirth of ancient Chinese culture which has been destroyed after the communist takeover. Dragons, drums and dancers, along with traditional Chinese instruments and costumes faithfully recreated from old manuscripts, paintings and pottery, all evoked the grandeur of Chinas great dynasties and legends of remote history.
Celebrating the Chinese New Year should be called passing of Nian or Guo Nian in Chinese. However the term was gradually changed to Spring Festival after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took power in 1949. Gradually people have forgotten the legend behind these Chinese New Year traditions. In its 2006 Chinese New Year shows, NTDTV actually put the ancient story of the Nian monster on stage.
Beautiful, vibrant Chinese Dragons gallivanting across the stage, the original China maids with their multi-colored, vivacious traditional garb dancing, laughing and in anticipation for the Chinese New Year. The splendor of China is arriving to New York City.
