Taking Adelaide by storm in September was the OzAsia Festival, an annual celebration of Adelaide’s sister state, Shadong Province in China. Headlining this celebration was Music Sales composer Tan Dun who joins the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra to present the Australian premiere of Nu Shu: The Secret Songs of Women.
The culmination of years of research, Nu Shu explores the secret language developed by women in 13th-century feudal China, weaving heart-wrenching stories of mothers and daughters navigating their lives in secret through the use of the ancient syllabic script.
The Australian review of Tan Dun’s work can be read here.
