Melody of China is a San Francisco-based music ensemble that offers both traditional and contemporary Chinese music. Some works have been commissioned.
On Friday, at 8 p.m. at the Old First Church in San Francisco, the group presents Joan Huang’s work, River During the Qinming Festival. The performance will include Earplay, a Bay Area, six-member ensemble devoted to new chamber music.
Also on the program: a world premiere by Eric Myers along with works by 20th-century Chinese composers. For ticket information, visit oldfirstconcerts.org, or call (415) 474-1608.
