Adelaide’s own Silk Strings Ensemble (Felix Wang, David Dai and Lester Wong) returns following their successful 2023 Fringe shows, featuring the original lineup: Turkish vocal virtuoso Dr. Aysegul Altiok, drummer Satomi Ohnishi, pianist Yundi Yuan, and bassist Tim Matthew.
This year, they delve deeper into the musical worlds of Shanghai and Istanbul. From Turkish folk songs and Arabesque to Chinese folk tunes and Mandarin Shidaiqu (Songs of the Era), the program blends jazz and pop, celebrating the rich diversity and inclusive spirit of Adelaide.
