On June 11-12, in the hallway on the fourth floor of Jonsson Hall at UT Dallas, the unique “Asian Musical Instruments Exhibition” took place. More than 30 pieces of folk musical instruments from China, India, Japan, and South Korea were exhibited there. At the same time, in the Jonsson Performance Hall of the same building, a professional video production team was shooting a short documentary, recording the musicians introducing and playing every musical instrument, and demonstrating how these musical instruments, with different national characteristics, produce their beautiful musical sound.

This event was organized by Dallas Huayun Chinese Orchestra and sponsored by UTD Center for Asian Studies. The purpose is to introduce people to different ethnic musical instruments and ethnic music from Asian countries. The documentary of the exhibit and demo playing of the instruments is showing on CAS’s website, YouTube, Facebook, and other media. Click to watch the documentary.
