Master of the pipa, Wu Man.

Master of the pipa, Wu Man.

Last fall, the San Antonio Chamber Music Society presented a concert that was a beautiful confluence of cultures across time, featuring music from Europe, America, and Asia.

Master pipa player Wu Han joined the Verona Quartet for a program called "Goin' Home."

As violinist Jonathan Ong explained from the stage, the concert was "a celebration about where is home, what is home, [and] searching for those things that make you nostalgic for home."
