Chinese gu-zheng, Japanese koto, and Korean gayageum have the same roots but developed differently. The opening concert of this year's Stanford Pan-Asian Music Festival showcases these three instruments featuring three masters who have traveled to the U.S. for the festival: Chinese gu-zheng master Yuan Sha, Japanese koto master Kazue Sawai, and Korean gayageum master Ji Aeri.
A pre-concert discussion with guest artists from China, Japan, and Korea will take place at 7:00 p.m.
