National Sawdust | Huang Ruo String Quartet

  • National Sawdust 80 North 6th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11249 United States (map)

Composer's Note:

Symbolizing the cycle and circle of an hour the piece is to be performed live without a break. Its structure is like a Tibetan sand mandala, created slowly from the central essence point expanding outward into its colored fullness, and then to be subtracted from it inwards back to the central essence point, fulfilling the
spiritual and life cycle and journey of traveling from nothing (emptiness) to something (fullness), and then back to nothing (emptiness). A colorful perfect world created by sands, although beautiful, yet it will eventually return back to dust. By going through this entire journey, what will remain afterwards is the fulfillment and internal peace laying in the heart...
