This recital includes three unpublished works, two of which were commissioned by Aaron Pergram, highlighting living women composers of the Chinese diaspora. Two works from one of the composers, both for bassoon and fixed media, tell stories from two significant periods of Chinese history, the Warring States Period and the pre-Qin period. The third piece on the program is a set of reimagined Taiwanese children’s songs for bassoon and piano.
