have to fit the pieces together and
try to figure it out.”
Each part of Chong’s trilogy
deals with the West’s relationship
with an Eastern country. 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

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.

“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.”
