Music course sounds the right notes

Mark Dulchavsky has just had a good time experiencing folk music in China.

The 22-year-old had been learning and playing the pipa, a four-stringed Chinese lute, at a music course at the University of Michigan in the United States, where he had just graduated with a Bachelor's degree in biophysics.

This summer, he, together with 30-plus music learners from three countries including Denmark and Hungary, was invited to attend a summer camp hosted by the Music Confucius Institute Office at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing from July 11 to 22.
