From the acrobatics of Beijing Opera to the heart-pounding rhythms of Chinese drumming, the sounds of Beijing echo across time and space.

This Saturday on Second Inversion: Echoes of Beijing. One composer finds inspiration in the fiddling traditions of Beijing Opera, while another traces the rhythms of ancient Chinese drumming. Plus, we travel to the majestic Temple of Heaven in Beijing and tune in to the deeper resonances of the Echo Wall.

To listen, tune in to Classical KING on Saturday, May 31 at 9pm PT.
