T'ang Ensembles

T'ang Ensembles refer to traditional Chinese music groups that originated during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). They typically consist of classical instruments like the pipa, guqin, erhu, and dizi, which are used to perform historic Chinese compositions. These ensembles aim to preserve and showcase China’s rich musical heritage, emphasizing harmony, expressive melodies, and cultural history. They are often featured in cultural performances, festivals, and educational settings to give audiences an authentic experience of ancient Chinese music. The term can also refer more broadly to any musical group inspired by or paying homage to this traditional style.
