EastRiver Ensemble
Captivating Chinese Music and Dance

The EastRiver Ensemble is a collective of top-notched musicians from north China, based out of New York City’s Wossing/Ai Center in Chinatown. Drawing upon a timeless folk repertoire of the Hebei and Donbei regions of China, EastRiver plays traditional music with flair. Unlike other Chinese ensembles, EastRiver is uniquely led by the yangqin, a Chinese version of the hammered dulcimer, which showcases the beauty and precision of this music. The ensemble’s style is a mark of the evolution of the Chinese repertoire. The EastRiver Ensemble also features stunning and gravity-defying acrobatic dance, an exhilarating tradition often seen on the stages of the dramatic and lively Chinese opera.

Ensemble I: 4-6 musicians
Ensemble II: 6 musicians with acrobatic dance troupe
