Wu Wei

A sheng soloist who has helped to develop this 4,000-year-old Chinese wind instrument into an “innovative force” in contemporary music, Wu Wei studied the sheng at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and was a soloist with the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra before studying at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, where he's now based. His performance tonight at 7:30 at the Cleveland Museum of Art will include traditional and contemporary Chinese music as well as masterworks of the European baroque period.
