A Moving Sound

Monday, April 3, 2023 – 8:00 p.m. 
Harper Hall

Fusing traditional influences with a global sensibility, award-winning Taiwanese ensemble A Moving Sound (Sheng Don聲動) has built a worldwide following through their joyous mix of original music and dance. Featuring the distinctive timbres of the erhu (Taiwanese fiddle) and zhong ruan (lute), and coupled with the transcendent vocals of Mia Hsieh, A Moving Sound has devised a unique and compelling style that is all their own—a whirlwind of musical expression that veers between the meditative and the exuberant with irrepressible spirit. 

A Moving Sound has been featured on BBC Radio 3, National Public Radio in the U.S., and on The Discovery Channel. They have performed and taught in twenty countries including The Kennedy Center, W.O.M.A.D. (picked as a festival highlight by London Financial Times) and the Melbourne International Arts Festival, and have led educational residency programs worldwide specializing in Taiwanese dance, music, and culture. A Moving Sound’s self-titled CD is internationally distributed by Motema Music.

Open to all students, faculty and staff. Free tickets with an LU ID can be purchased at the Lawrence University box office or by phone at 920-832-6749.
