Debussy is one of the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His compositions combined modernism and sensuality successfully, and his adoption of non-traditional scales and tonal structures was paradigmatic for many composers who followed.
DNA Trio, comprising cellist Song Zhao, violinist Zhang Jingye and pianist Zhang Jialin, held their concerts since 2005 at many nationally renowned theaters, like the National Centre for the Performing Arts and Xinghai Concert Hall. In recent years, they have rearranged and adapted many classical vocals and instrumental pieces from home and abroad, including Debussy's works.
This time, DNA Trio will present Debussy's representative works and some rearranged pieces, such as Nuit d'étoiles and Beau Soir, portraying stages of Debussy's life from a teenage genius to a super master. In addition, audiences will also listen to Debussy's Interlude, featuring the collaboration of harp, flute and viola, enjoying a more fantastic audition experience.
