Zither and flute music - classical Chinese solos and Scottish folk music and duets blending the music from these two nations.

After her historic symphonic recital with HU Bing-xu and China Philharmonic Orchestra in front of over 6,000 people in The Great Hall of the People in 2007, international classical Chinese zheng performer Dong Yi returns to Edinburgh, where she studied for five years, to share the stage with Eddie McGuire, one of the most prominent contemporary Scottish musicians. At the young age of 26, Dong Yi has been considered as one of the most influential performers of Chinese national musical instruments and one of the pioneers of the fusion of Chinese zheng and symphonic music.

Eddie McGuire is the recipient of Scottish Arts Council’s 2004 Creative Award and the leader of the first ever Scottish band that visited China. The collaboration between these two musicians traced back from the year of 2004 would be a tribute to any lover of Scottish and Chinese traditional and classical culture and any friend of Sino-Europe cultural communication.
