Upon invitation of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the National Culture and Arts Foundation (Taipeh) we embarked on a discovery journey to the contemporary music of Europe and Taiwan. 18 young composers and 3 professors of Vienna and Taiwan wrote compositions for string quartet and the traditional Chinese instruments Pipa, Erhu and the Taiwanese bamboo flute.
Later, we developed an expanded project in which several leading composers from Asia, inspired by the drama „The Peony Pavilion“, composed new works for string quartet and pipa, which we premiered in Zurich and Taipeh.
