Sssss….Red Chamber is hot, steamy hot! Whether it is fast and furious string band music, sultry Imperial Court classics, or cutting-edge contemporary creations, Red Chamber’s passionate energy embodies every note.

Canada’s Red Chamber features four virtuosic performers that have collectively become an innovative powerhouse in the international music scene, with concert tours from Europe’s top concert halls to Asia’s premiere International festivals. Red Chamber takes its inspiration from the rare traditional Chinese “Plucked String” repertoire to present a captivatingly unique program embracing string band music spanning centuries, a host of world cultures, and a myriad of musical genres. Consummate performers, their superb virtuosity is exemplified in performances of ancient Chinese Court music from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), to contemporary Canadian compositions, and an intriguing range of other works including Balkan, Gypsy jazz, American Old-Timey and Bluegrass.
