| Composer note | Bamboo Lights is a memorial for my family members who perished in the war. Dense bamboo forests surround and shelter the villages in southern China. These groves bore witness to the horrors and atrocities of war: howling winds, flickering lights, eyes shining, gazing, peering through the leaves...... Bamboo Lights (for chamber orchestra) was commissioned by the Callithumpian Consort and its artistic director, Stephen Drury, who gave its premiere at the recently completed Calderwood Hall at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. --- Lei Liang |
