On November 17, the Chinese guqin made its debut at the CSU School of Music. Two representatives from the Confucius Institute gave a recital and presentation about the history and philosophy of the guqin – one of the oldest Chinese stringed instruments. The presentation was well received and music students were able to try out the instrument, giving them an opportunity to experience an instrument played during the times of Confucius. The guqin has a history of over 3000 years history and, as of 2008, has been inscribed by Unesco as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The Confucius Institute at CSU offers classes for the guqin. Please contact them at [email protected] if you are interested in learning the guqin or finding out more about classes.
