The \u201cPolifonie in viva voce\u201d series promoted by the Intercultural Institute of Comparative\u00a0Music Studies at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in collaboration with Confucius Institute of\u00a0Venice is now into its seventeenth edition. This year the guests are the Dong Folk Chorus of\u00a0the Dimen Dong Culture Eco-Museum, made up of singers from various villages in the Chinese\u00a0province of Guizhou. As usual, the event will be divided into two separate sessions: an\u00a0afternoon seminar to analyse and explore Dong polyphonic singing, with the participation of\u00a0Joanna Lee (Hong Kong University), an expert on Dong music, who has been involved in obtaining\u00a0UNESCO acknowledgement for this art form and in the creation of the Dimen Dong\u00a0Culture Eco-Museum; after the seminar there will be a concert by the Dong Folk Chorus.
\nA typical feature of local Dong singing is the combination of a large group called da ge, which\u00a0can be translated with the expression \u201cgreat song\u201d, or \u201clarge chorus\u201d, alluding to the number of\u00a0singers who may spontaneously or in a more organised way take part directly in the performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31199,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"cini_tax_event_categories":[1470,1465],"cini_tax_institutes":[],"cini_tax_event_locations":[],"class_list":["post-30470","cini_events","type-cini_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cini_tax_event_categories-events","cini_tax_event_categories-meetings"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
