​Created for ritual purposes and pleasure, music in China can be traced back to more than 7000 years ago. Join First Saturday PDX for an exploration of China's various musical instruments

Music instruments are an integral part of human history, and every culture has its own set of instruments. With its long history and diversified ethnicities, China boasts a rich variety of instruments. In this audio and visual program, Jerry Lin will illustrate some of the most important and popular instruments from China.
