Wu Man with Huayin Shadow Puppet Band

An internationally renowned virtuoso on the pipa — an instrument much like a lute — Wu Man will join the Huayin Shadow Puppet Band for a program of traditional Chinese folk music with shadow puppetry. The performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. in Gartner Auditorium at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Part of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, Wu Man, who has performed at the museum in the past, is probably the world's most famous traditional Chinese musician playing the concert halls. She uses her success to share the spotlight with lesser known artists of Chinese music like the Huayin Shadow Puppet Band. Expect a rousing evening of lutes, gongs and fiddles, full of energy and charm. Tickets start at $38. (Niesel)
