Tan Dun appeared at the Chongqing Grand Theater with the "Wuxia Trilogy" and personally performed on stage

On the evening of the 18th, Mr. Tan Dun, a world-famous composer and performer, appeared at the Chongqing Grand Theater with the "Wuxia Trilogy" to perform for the people of shancheng city and interpret the sound of classics.

The Wuxia Trilogy is derived from Tan Dun's film score for Zhang Yimou's Heroes, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Feng Xiaogang's Night Feast, and is a coherent compilation of three concertos of the same name. This is the first martial arts music in China, and it is also Tan Dun's tribute to Wagner with music and philosophy, and it is also a dialogue between the 21st century and the two composers of the 19th century spanning 200 years.

Different from traditional concerts, this concert is the product of the complementarity and interplay of multimedia film playback and music. After the pictures of the three films have been re-edited, the themes are strung together into a line, and the pictures and music are closely linked, bringing both visual and auditory enjoyment to chongqing audiences.
