Two renowned virtuosos of traditional Chinese musical instruments, Zhou Wei and Yang Jing, performed with the City of Athens Symphony Orchestra in the Greek capital on Thursday evening.

The first meeting of the Chinese and Greek artists in a concert, entitled Melody from Beijing, was warmly received by a full house at the Athens Concert Hall.

Zhou, accompanied by Chinese pianist Qu Dawei, introduced Greeks to the magic of erhu (two-stringed fiddle) performing works such as The Grapes Are Ripe, while Yang won applause for her performance of pipa (four-stringed plucked instrument) solos such as The Swan.
