Following the music gives composer a unique sound

As a curious traveler, Stephan Micus has made several extensive trips to China since 1984, after listening to a concert given by a group of Beijing monks in Munich. Now at the age of 60, however, the multi-instrumentalist/composer is performing in China for the first time this fall.

After concerts in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou in September, he will be onstage on Oct 31 at Post Mountain Art Space Beijing.

For each concert, Micus brings seven or eight instruments onstage, ranging from the Armenian double-reeded duduk to the Ethiopian 10-string bagana.
