Wu Man, by Hiroyuki Ito/The New York Times

Wu Man at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia, December 6, 2012
The New York Times, Dec. 10, 2012

Beyond its intrinsic merits, this concert marked the start of a promising new series of intimate concerts hosted by World Music Institute, an invaluable organization that brings all manner of worthy artists to New York City. It also served as a celebration of Wu Man's newly released DVD, Discovering a Musical Heartland: Wu Man's Return to China, which documents her journeys home to identify traditional artists for a Carnegie Hall festival, Ancient Paths, Modern Voices. My review of one of those concerts is here.
