Following the Chan Centre Dot Com Series online concert premiere of Lan Tung: Have Bow Will Travel, erhu player Lan Tung and composer Tim Brady chat with Chan Centre Director Pat Carrabré about their collaboration on two new works: Concerto Étude and Peripheral Visions, the joy of improvisation, and how they’re holding up during the pandemic
“A good improviser such as Lan always does something you don’t expect, and that’s the beauty of it. With a good improviser you can try to guide stuff but fundamentally they will find their own path through it… if you’re going to write a piece that includes improvisation you’re just going to have to agree that it’s not totally your piece anymore.” – Tim Brady
