Erhu

Erhu music, rooted in traditional Chinese culture, is characterized by its hauntingly expressive melodies and emotive sound, often likened to a human voice. Originating from ancient China, the erhu is a two-stringed, bowed instrument that has transcended its folk origins to feature in both classical and contemporary compositions. Its distinctive timbre and ability to convey deep emotion have made it a staple in Chinese orchestras and a beloved symbol of the country's rich musical heritage.
