The first dealt with the West’s relationship with Japan. After “Chinoiserie” is finished, Chong will begin work ing on the final part of the trilogy. The third part will deal with the West’s relationship with Vietnam, he said. For that project, Chong will visit Vietnam in December and spend about eight weeks there to do research. Chong said he did an excruciat ing amount of research with “Chinoiserie.” He had to read up on the history of the first British trade envoy with China and the 19th century Opium War. Con verting that information to the the ater was one of the challenges of “Chinoiserie,” he said. “You’re dealing with history that American people know al most nothing about. How you make that history accessible to an audi ence, that’s the challenge,” Chong said. ^Chinoiserie” is the first of Chong’s shows to feature an origi fs nal score. Giving composer Guy ' Klucevsek enough material for a musical score was another chal lenge that Chong faced, he- said. Chong said he had been work ing for about a year and a half on “Chinoiserie.” He spent the last seven weeks rehearsing, and per Courtesy of the Lied Ping Chong premieres his “Chinoiserie” tonight at Kimball Recital Hall. formed “Chinoiserie” as a work in . progress at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The event sold out. “It was great. We actually had to turn people away,” Chong said. With “Chinoiserie,” Chong hopes to show some of the conse quences of history, he said. Fitting more than 200 years of history into an hour-and-a-half show was diffi cult, he said. “You must know the history if you are to know the problems of today,” Chong said. Over the past year, Chong said, China has been the subject of a lot of negative press. Coverage of this month’s women’s conference in China was a good example of the irresponsibility of the U.S. media, he said. “I guess you could take the metaphor of a guest coming to someone’s house,” Chong said. “Do you point out the dirty linen?” While other media Outlets around the world covered the con ference in an objective fashion, he said, the American press practiced biased reporting. And when it comes to human rights, he said, the United States cannot :ompare its standards to a nation of more than a billion people. “You can’t imagine what it’s like,” he said. Chong said he hoped “Chinoiserie” would shed light on some of the misconceptions of Chinese culture. Chong’s choice to premiere his piece at the Kimball Recital Hall was due to the former Lied Center for Performing Arts director, Rob ert Chumbley. Chong came to Lin coln in 1991 to perform “Kind ness,” for which he received a 1988 USA Playwrights Award. While Chong was in Lincoln, he talked to Chumbley about do ing a music theater piece. After Lincoln, “Chinoiserie” will be performed at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival. Along with Chong and Klucevsek, Michael Matthews will also take the stage tonight. “Chinoiserie” begins at 8 to night. Tickets are $18 and $14, half price for UNL, Wesleyan and Doane students. Duo Continued from Page 12 “I approached this with a lot of skepticism,” she said. “In order to be accepted seriously as duo performers, the performance must be really good.” Clinton agreed. “Solo piano performances that aren’t all that good are bad,” he said, “but duo performances that aren’t that good are terrible.” ^ Outside of preliminary uncertainty, getting used to duo performance has been difficult for both Clinton and Narboni. “It’s a lot of hard work, and it’s work that you don’t have to do when you’re doing solo performance,” Narboni said. This work includes altering prac tice and performance styles to match, or at least complement, those of the partner, and practicing together. But Clinton admitted that they have it a bit easier than most performance duos. “At least we live together, so find ing the time to practice isn’t a real problem,” Clinton said. And, Clinton said, the less-tan gible benefits of marriage were equally helpful. “We seem to have the same inter ests, and we approach the music in the same way, most of the time,” he said. --—r~—9 “Whether that came before or after we were married, I don’t know. But it helps.” For Sunday’s performance, Clinton andNarboni are hoping to bring some thing different to Lincoln music fans. “Even the most-educated concert audiences won’t have seen too many duo piano performances,” Clinton said. “It’s not just another solo pia nist.” And the experience won’t simply benefit the audience. “It’s the simple thrill of making good music,” Narboni said. “And,” Clinton continued, “it’s the idea of getting to share that thrill with someone.” — $3.25 per day for 15 words on individual student and student organization ads. $4.50 per day for 15 words on non-student ads. $.15 each additional word. $.75 billing charge.
