Erhu Events This Weekend in Amsterdam

About Erhu

The Erhu, often referred to as the Chinese violin, is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument with origins tracing back over a thousand years to the Tang Dynasty. Characterized by its haunting, vocal-like timbre, it utilizes a cylindrical or hexagonal resonator covered with python skin, producing a unique resonance that mimics the nuances of the human voice. Compositions range from meditative, slow-tempo pieces evoking deep melancholy to high-energy, virtuosic showcases of rhythmic agility. While traditionally a pillar of Chinese classical and folk ensembles, it maintains a strong semantic connection to modern world music and cinematic scores, often serving as the primary melodic voice in Eastern orchestral arrangements.

Also known as: Nanhu
